Can You Sue the Government in Ohio for Injuries? Your Legal Guide
As detailed by the legal experts at Nolo in the article “Filing an Injury Claim Against the Government in Ohio,” injured individuals face a complex and restrictive process when seeking compensation from state or local entities in Ohio. Navigating governmental immunity, strict deadlines, and capped damages are just a few of the hurdles claimants must overcome.
Suing a government entity in Ohio isn’t like filing a standard personal injury lawsuit against a private citizen or business. Governments are shielded by legal protections known as “sovereign immunity,” which they partially waive under statutes like Ohio’s Court of Claims Act. This law allows lawsuits against the state under limited conditions. If your injury involves a political subdivision—such as a county or city—you must consult the Political Subdivision Tort Liability Act instead.
