Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio
Can I reopen a dog bite case that was settled when I was minor now that I am an adult? If so, how much time do I have from the time that I turned 18 to reopen that case?

You can reopen the case only if the settlement was NOT approved by the probate court. You have two years from your 18th birthday to file a lawsuit against the owner of the dog.
