The Ohio Supreme Court holds 2004 asbestos law applies to cases filed before its effective date
The Ohio Supreme Court has held that the 2004 asbestos law that tightened requirements for asbestos personal injury claimants will apply even to cases that were already pending when the law was passed. The 2004 law stated that it was intended to be retroactive—to apply to pending cases. The court’s ruling means that the new law applies to 40,000 cases that were filed before the law passed.
