Civil Litigation Advocacy in Ohio

Ohio civil law provides powerful protections for injured individuals—but only when enforced by experienced trial lawyers. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm uses Ohio’s civil justice system to pursue meaningful results for clients who have suffered preventable harm.

Proving Liability & Protecting Your Claim

Civil cases require proof that a defendant’s conduct caused real harm. We build compelling cases designed to meet and exceed Ohio’s legal standards by establishing:

The defendant owed a legal duty of care
That duty was breached through negligence or misconduct
The breach directly caused injury or loss
The damages are substantial and provable

We approach each case with a trial-ready mindset, forcing defendants and insurers to take our clients’ claims seriously.

Statutes of Limitation: Acting Before Time Runs Out

Ohio law imposes strict deadlines for filing civil lawsuits. Many personal injury and negligence cases must be filed within two years, while medical malpractice and wrongful death cases involve additional statutory requirements.

The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm acts swiftly to preserve evidence, protect deadlines, and prevent defendants from escaping responsibility through procedural technicalities.

Fighting Back Against Blame-Shifting

Ohio follows a comparative negligence system, which defendants frequently exploit to shift blame onto injured victims. We aggressively challenge these tactics, working to minimize fault arguments and protect our clients’ right to full compensation.

Securing Full Compensation in Civil Cases

When your rights are violated, partial justice is not enough. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm fights for maximum compensation, tailored to the full scope of your losses.

Compensation in civil cases may include:

Past and future medical expenses
Rehabilitation and long-term care needs
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Loss of quality of life and family impact

While Ohio law places limits on certain non-economic damages, we structure cases to pursue every category of compensation available under the law.
