A statute of limitations is the time limit placed on filing lawsuits in Ohio.

The time limit can be created by a statute or by a contract between two parties.

Think time limitation to file a lawsuit. Sort of like sue by this date or forever hold your peace.

As for example, in a car accident case, Ohio law states you normally have 2 years from the accident to settle your claim or file a lawsuit against the person who hurt you, or you lose your claim forever.

You have to file suit by the statute of limitations or you are forever barred from filing a lawsuit to collect for your injuries.

Different classes of people or people in different situations can have different statute of limitations for the same sort of injury claim.

For example, children currently have 2 years from their 18th birthday to file a car accident personal injury lawsuit against a 3rd party.

Like a said, 2 people with same injury, an adult and a child, can have different time limits to file suit for the same injury.

Statute of limitations, or time limitations, can also vary based on the type of claim you are filing in court.

For example, in the car accident case, if you want to file a claim against your own insurance company, it is a contract claim, not a "tort" 3rd party claim, so your automotive insurance company may, if they feel like it, limit you to filing a lawsuit against them within 3 years of the accident, even if you are a child.

That's why you can't just assume kids have until age 20 to file a car accident personal injury claim.

This is also why in a car or vehicle accident case you want to get a certified copy of your automotive policy in effect on the date of injury and talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer to figure out exactly how long you have to sue.
