On 9-16-15 the Supreme Court took in this case with dissents by Pfeiffer and O'Neil. It was a Cleveland Court of Appeals decision which 3 to 0 have reversed a Trial Court dismissal in a med-mal case based on statute of limitations and had a discussion in regard to the statute of repose and it also involved a dismissal in Federal Court.

State of Ohio v. Ebraheim, No. L-14-1157

It was interesting since there was a lot of discussion in regard to proximate cause and also expert witnesses by both sides in regard to vehicle speeds, etc.
