How Ohio law treats scald burns

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)

Directory coverage for Ohio is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
