Property owners who place warning signs near hazards hope to reduce their liability in the event of an injury. However, if the warning sign was not put in a location where it was easily seen, or the sign did not accurately inform you of the hazards or dangers, you could still file an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit.
Since Ohio is a modified comparative negligence state, if your portion of fault does not exceed 50%, you can still recover compensation for your damages.
When slip and fall injuries occur in parking lots or garages, the individual or entity who owns the parking lot can be sued for damages if their negligence contributed to your injuries.
Ohio Revised Code ORC § 2305.10 clearly states that the statute of limitations for slip and fall injury claims is two years.
Although that may seem like plenty of time to pursue your claim, the sooner you get an attorney working on your case, the more likely we can recover crucial supporting evidence that may only be available for a short period. The courts will prohibit you from pursuing your case civilly if your slip and fall injury claim is not filed before this deadline.
The open and obvious rule allows property owners to avoid being found liable for injury victim’s damages if the dangerous conditions could be considered obvious and open to other reasonable individuals.
It is more than likely that the liable party will do whatever they can to reduce their financial obligation to you. For this reason, it is essential to retain the guidance and support of experienced attorneys who can help ensure you are compensated fairly for your suffering.
