Court of Claims Defense

The Ohio Attorney General’s Court of Claims Defense Section represents the state of Ohio in the Ohio Court of Claims, Tenth District Court of Appeals and the Ohio Supreme Court. The types of cases vary widely but often involve premises liability, construction, intentional tort, negligence, medical malpractice, property loss or damage, employment discrimination, breach of contract, defamation, personal injury, and wrongful death and imprisonment claims.

The Construction Litigation Group (CLG) is housed within the Court of Claims Defense Section. It is a one-stop shop for matters related to the state of Ohio’s many construction projects. The CLG attorneys serve government entities that contract to private companies by offering day-to-day advice, prosecution of defective design and construction claims and defense against injunctions filed by disappointed bidders.
