Robinson, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Before they could seize your house, they would have to file a lawsuit against you and obtain a Court judgment against you. Once they obtain a Court judgment against you, they can then take steps to execute on the judgment which could include selling your house to attempt to satisfy the judgment. If you have not already done so, you should homestead your house. You can check with the County Assessor's office re how to do that. I can not remember the current amount of the homestead exemption but whatever that amount is, that amount is protected from being used to satisfy a judgment against you.

In Ohio there is a defined period of time within which you must file a lawsuit to recover for injuries and damages caused due to negligence. If you were a minor under the age of 18 at the time of the accident you had until you turned 20 years old unless the incident involved medical care in which event you had until you turned 19. Not knowing how old you were at the time of your accident, I assume from your description that the incident that occurred 20 years ago would place your claim beyond any statute of limitations unless you were and remain legally incompetent in which even the statute of limitations may be tolled. Sorry but it sounds like you are likely too late to do anything from a legal perspective.
