How long do I have to file medical malpractice case in Ohio?

I was misdiagnosed a year and a half ago and was told the problem was due to my MS. I told the doctor I thought it was a different problem, which it turned out it was. However, I only got the correct diagnosis three weeks ago from the emergency room.I always thought I had one year from the date the problem was discovered to file.

You have 6 days, 15 hours, 31 minutes, 14 seconds

In OH, you only have one year from the negligent/lack of care act, not from when you discovered the problem. Since you're claiming his misdiagnosis caused you damages and it happened over a year ago, the statute of limitations has run out and you cannot pursue a lawsuit.
