Where to File in Ohio
Ohio has two federal judicial districts: the Northern District (Cleveland/Akron/Toledo) and Southern District (Columbus/Cincinnati/Dayton). Both districts have managed significant pharmaceutical litigation. Ohio follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and caps non-economic damages in many tort cases under tort reform legislation, though product liability claims may be subject to specific analysis.
