What to Expect:

The one-hour presentation will explore Ohio law (2315.18) that limits non-economic (“pain and suffering”) damages to $250,000-$350,000 unless specific catastrophic injury criteria are met. Particular focus will be on interpreting what constitutes a “permanent and substantial physical deformity” – the most contested exception used by plaintiff’s attorneys to avoid damage caps in non-catastrophic injury cases.
