Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability Cases in Columbus

Seek medical attention immediately, report the incident to the property owner, document the scene if possible, and contact our office for a free consultation with a premises liability attorney in Columbus.
In Ohio, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, it’s best to act quickly to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, though they may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
We must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. This often involves gathering evidence, reviewing maintenance records, and sometimes consulting experts.
Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case and the severity of your injuries.
