Where to File in Ohio
Ohio AFFF cases are filed in the court of common pleas of the county where the plaintiff resides or where the exposure occurred. The Mid-Ohio Valley communities along the Ohio River (Washington County) are the most historically significant PFAS exposure area in the nation, with the C8 Science Panel study providing the foundational causation science for all PFAS litigation. Wright-Patterson AFB (Greene/Montgomery Counties near Dayton) is a significant contaminated military site. Federal claims are consolidated in MDL 2873 in D.S.C.
