How Ohio law treats house fire injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Ohio applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar.
Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.33
Damage caps
Ohio is one of the few states that caps non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases: the greater of $250,000 or three times economic damages, up to $350,000 per plaintiff. The cap does not apply at all to permanent substantial physical deformity or to injuries preventing independent self-care — categories severe burn injuries frequently fall into.
Ohio Rev. Code § 2315.18(B)
Claims against government
Ohio sets no shortened notice deadline: claims against political subdivisions and against the State both run on the same two-year period.
Ohio Rev. Code §§ 2744.04(A), 2743.16(A)
