This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses Ohio's new eight year statute of limitations for claims based on written contracts. This law also applies retroactively to claims that accrued before September 28, 2012, the new law's effective date, provided they are brought within eight years after the cause of action accrued. The statute of limitations for written contract claims was previously 15 years from the time of breach.
