Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Re: statute of limitations

Dear Inquirer: There is no Statute of Limitations relative to an invoice. However, failure to object or correct the amount is required, since silence is or may be considered a form of acceptance or acquiesence.

Statutes of limitation, like aircraft landings, are mandatory. Some of the most common limitations include:

Notice of Construction Claim � Contract Terms

Demand for Arbitration � Contract Terms

Constr.Defects (After Damage Ensues) 4yrs.

Constr.Defects (After Completion) - Claims Against Archts, Engrs., Contractors 15 yrs.

Notice of Furnishing, Miller Act Liens 21days

Mechanic�s Liens, Ohio statutes 75 days

Mech. Liens, Residential 60 days

Answer to Complaint: Federal Court 20 days

State Court 28 days

Appeal from Judgment or Order 30 days

Zoning Appeals 30 days

Complaint for Injunctive Relief 7 days

Summary Judgment Motions 30 days

Probate Claims Against Estate 1 year

Malpractice/Professional Negligence 1 year

Wrongful Death Claims 1 year

Motions for Relief from Judgment 1 year

Personal Injury, Property Damage 2 yrs.

Worker�s Compensation Claims 2 yrs.

Occupational Disease Claims 6 mo.

Negligence 4 yrs.

Tort Claims 4 yrs.

Oral Contract Claims 6 yrs.

Written Contract Claims 15 yrs.

When in doubt, consult an experienced Attornet ASAP. Good luck!

Sincerely,
