Ohio injunction & TRO bonds.
Quote on review.
An Ohio court won’t let a restraining order or preliminary injunction take effect until you give security. The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful. The court sets the amount it deems proper — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does an Ohio injunction & TRO bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
Built for the TRO clock.
A restraining order is worthless until the security is posted, and those orders move fast. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and tell us the case, the parties, and the amount of security the court has set or is likely to set. The faster we see the court’s figure, the faster we size the bond.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. A large penal sum is typically collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond so you can give the security the court requires and let the injunction or TRO take effect.
How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
Why the court makes you post security
An injunction stops the other side from doing something before the case is decided. If it later turns out the injunction was wrongful, that party has been harmed — and the injunction bond is how they get made whole.
Under Civ.R. 65(C), no restraining order or preliminary injunction is operative until the movant gives security in an amount the court deems proper. The bond guarantees payment of the enjoined party’s costs and damages if the court later finds the restraint was wrongful.
Because the surety stands behind that figure, a large penal sum is usually collateralized and supported by financials. We tell you what your file needs before you commit, so the security is ready when the court sets the amount.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
Execute & file. Once you bind, we issue the executed bond so you can give the security the court requires and let the injunction or TRO take effect.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
