How Long Is the Statute of Limitations?
How long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim is determined by a law called the statute of limitations. According to the Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings Code section 5-101, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of Maryland is three years. More specifically, this means you have three years from the date your injury occurred to file, or you risk losing your right to file along with your right to pursue compensation.
It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this three-year time limit. Some examples of these exceptions include:
- If the injury victim was a minor when the accident occurred
- If the injury victim has a condition that qualifies them as mentally incapacitated under the law
- If the alleged negligent party intentionally tries to hide their identity to avoid a lawsuit
The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s crucial to speak to an experienced Laurel personal injury attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as you can. McGowan & Cecil, LLC offers free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting our firm today!
