Ohio Car Accident Settlement Calculator

If you were injured in a car accident in Ohio, here is what makes a Ohio claim different, plus a free calculator to estimate what your case could be worth.

Ohio's Fault System

Ohio follows an at-fault insurance system. Ohio uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar rule. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.

Filing Deadline

Generally 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims.

Statutes of limitations change and can have exceptions (claims against government entities, minors, and the discovery rule can all affect your deadline). Verify your exact deadline with a licensed Ohio attorney — see our statute of limitations guide for more context.

Minimum Insurance Requirements

Minimum liability coverage is commonly cited as $25,000 bodily injury per person / $50,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage.

What Makes Ohio Different

Ohio is a straightforward at-fault state — the at-fault driver’s liability insurer is the primary source of recovery for injury claims.
