Slip and fall accidents happen every day across Columbus and Franklin County — on poorly maintained commercial properties along East Broad Street and South High Street in East and South Columbus, in grocery stores and restaurants throughout Linden, the Near East Side, and the Hilltop, in neglected apartment complex walkways and parking lots, and in inadequately maintained commercial spaces across the county. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail that duty, people get hurt. Ohio's open-and-obvious doctrine and comparative negligence rules give insurers tools to minimize what injured people may be owed. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From commercial properties along East Broad Street and Cleveland Avenue in East Columbus and Linden to grocery stores and restaurants throughout the Near East Side and Hilltop to apartment complexes in South Columbus — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Franklin County and who is responsible for them. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital regularly treat serious fall injuries. Those accidents cause real damage to Columbus families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Franklin County may use Ohio's open-and-obvious doctrine and comparative negligence rules to minimize or eliminate your claim. We know how to leverage the justice system in Franklin County courts to fight back and protect your right to recover what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT OHIO LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury under ORC § 2305.10(A).
Property Owner Liability: Ohio uses an open-and-obvious doctrine. If a dangerous condition was open and obvious, the property owner may argue they had no duty to warn. However, an open and obvious condition can still create liability in some circumstances.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. Any finding of 51% or more fault on your part eliminates your recovery.
Government Property: Claims against a political subdivision of Ohio (city, county) are governed by the Ohio Political Subdivision Tort Liability Act. Notice requirements apply.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies in Ohio may use the open-and-obvious doctrine and comparative negligence rules to minimize what you may be owed. TopDog Law and its co-counsel evaluate both defenses and fight for the full recovery.
