Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court, holding that a plaintiff need not follow Civ.R. 15(D) to add defendants in an amended complaint under R.C. 2323.451(D)(1), and that the 180‑day extension in R.C. 2323.451(D)(2) applies to any additional defendants, not only those newly discovered.
