The Fitch Law Firm is an American law firm based in Columbus, Ohio. It handles a variety of personal injury and wrongful death case types including accident injuries, medical malpractice, sexual abuse, and product liability.

History
The Fitch Law Firm was founded in 1980 in Columbus, Ohio by John Fitch, a licensed attorney. Since its founding, it has focused on personal injury and wrongful death, and has also represented victims of sexual abuse and nursing home abuse.

In December 2015, the law firm gained media attention when head attorney John Fitch fought in the Ohio Supreme Court to remove the limit on Ohio’s non-economic damages for sexually abused minors. The case gained support from the public and the legal community for aiming to address the “‘invisible’ injuries left by such traumatic events.” As of March 2016, the Supreme Court has yet to produce its ruling on the case.

The Fitch Law Firm has been covered and quoted by various publications and media outlets. Among its most highly covered work is its effort in the Ohio Supreme Court to remove the cap on Ohio’s non-economic damages for underage victims of sexual abuse.
