The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. Act quickly to protect your rights.
General deadline for injury lawsuits in Maryland
From date of death, not date of accident
Discovery rule may extend this deadline
For defective product injuries
For vehicle and property damage claims
Discovery rule applies for medical malpractice — 3 years from discovery but no more than 5 years from injury. Minors have 3 years from turning 18.
Maryland is one of only 4 states (plus DC) that follows contributory negligence. If you are even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be completely barred from recovering any damages. This makes legal representation critical in Maryland personal injury cases.
Some states limit the amount of damages you can recover in personal injury cases. Understanding these caps is crucial for setting realistic expectations.
Capped — approximately $920,000 (adjusted annually, increases $15,000/year)
Generally not available — Maryland does not allow punitive damages in most negligence cases
Approximately $890,000 for non-economic damages (adjusted annually)
Maryland's non-economic damage cap applies to ALL personal injury cases, not just medical malpractice. The cap increases by $15,000 each year.
