• 2025 Ohio 5193

Syllabus

Trial court did not err by granting summary judgment in favor of defendants in a wrongful-death claim based on medical care filed more than four years after the last alleged negligent act by a physician, despite two of the beneficiaries being minors at the time of decedent's death. Under Supreme Court of Ohio precedent the four-year statute of repose for medical claims applies to wrongful-death claims based on medical care and the trial court properly concluded that the minority-tolling provision under R.C. 2305.16 did not apply to toll the statute of repose.
