Our son was killed from injuries in a bar.5 bar patrons loaded him in the car and he died.Is the bar liable?

Asked by a user in Columbus, OH - over 3 years ago.

In Ohio you have a 2-year statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim. That means that you have 2 years from your son's passing to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. The question is going to be what was the proximate cause of your son's death. If you intend to pursue this claim, I would advise you to obtain a copy of the coroner's report and, thereafter, consult with an attorney.
