Filing a Cerebral Palsy Claim in Ohio: What to Know

News   August 4, 2025

As outlined by Cerebral Palsy Guidance in their article “Ohio Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Filing Process”, families in Ohio navigating a cerebral palsy diagnosis due to suspected medical negligence must understand the legal framework that governs these complex cases. From tight deadlines to documentation requirements, every step in the legal process plays a pivotal role in securing justice and financial support for a child affected by cerebral palsy.

Parents may consider filing a medical malpractice lawsuit if their child’s condition was the result of substandard care by a healthcare provider. The legal process in Ohio is time-sensitive: you have one year from the date of the incident—or from the discovery of the injury—to file a claim, with an absolute limit of four years. A six-month extension may be granted if you notify the defendants in writing.
