Concussion Rule in Ohio

Not same day, admittedly, but it can be as soon as the next day. And the law explicitly offers immunity from liability unless there is willful or wanton misconduct. Doesn't mean you won't get sued but it's a pretty high barrier to beat for judgment.

Maybe, but in about five years, I expect there to be some lawsuits (maybe even some successful ones).
