Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations is a time
limit. A workers' compensation claim (or any legal claim) must be filed
within a certain time limit. If a claim is not filed within the time
limit it will be forever barred.
Because the issue of time limits is important and potentially
confusing, if you have a specific question about the time limits for
filing a claim, you should contact an attorney.

- Court: Two Year Notice Requirement
Does Not Apply to Claims for Residual Conditions. (July, 1999)
- Court: Ohio Supreme Court clarifies
time limit for filing claim for a psychiatric flow-through condition.
