Ohio's climate presents significant driving challenges, from icy winter roads to heavy spring and summer rains, leading to increased accident frequency, particularly around Toledo. The state's housing stock is diverse, with many single-family homes, meaning vehicle ownership is common. Ohio follows a modified comparative fault system. This means you can recover damages if your fault is less than 51%, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Understanding this rule is essential for evaluating your claim's potential recovery.
