SHAWN JACKSON Plaintiff v. OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, et al.

Defendants Case No. 2010-02634-AD Deputy Clerk Daniel R. Borchert MEMORANDUM DECISION

FINDINGS OF FACT {¶ 1} Plaintiff, Shawn Jackson, filed this action against defendant, Department of Transportation (ODOT), contending his 1992 Ford Taurus was damaged as a proximate cause of negligence on the part of ODOT personnel in conducting snow removal operations on State Route 141 on either January 15, 2010 or January 16, 2010. Plaintiff requested damages in the amount of $68.90, the cost of repairs.

Payment of the filing fee was waived. {¶ 2} 2) ODOT filed an investigation report requesting plaintiff’s claim be dismissed, advising the claim was paid and settled by defendant, Office of Risk Management. ODOT provided a copy of a “Release For Property Damage Only” document signed by plaintiff acknowledging his property damage claim had been satisfied and releasing ODOT from any liability claim.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW {¶ 3} 1) R.C. 2743.02(D) in pertinent part states: “Recoveries against the state shall be reduced by the aggregate of insurance proceeds, disability award, or other collateral recovery received by the claimant.” Upon review, the court finds that the money received by plaintiff is a recovery from a collateral source.
