Ok, thank you. Your claim would have the standard two-year statute of limitations.
General Two-Year Limit: Most personal injury and property damage claims must be filed within two years, according to Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10)
- This includes claims arising from car accidents, product liability, and other incidents causing injury or property damage.
- The two-year period typically begins when the injury or damage occurs, or when the injured party discovers the injury.
Or, if you are claiming a breach of contract, that statute of limitations would be six years under Ohio Revised Code § 2305.06.

I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with someone who has taken your property. How long has it been since the property was taken?
I attempted to get it back a few months ago, but they said they no longer have it, though I have the purchase orders proving it was mine.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you already attempted to resolve this issue directly with the person who has your property?
Yes, they are uncooperative.

No

Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I have been a licensed attorney for over 19 years. I look forward to assisting you with your question.
How long ago did you suffer the loss of your property? Are you seeking property or money damages?
Small claims would be the financial value of the items that she no longer has.
