Maryland Auto Injury Law
In Maryland, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of injury (Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 3 years under Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-904.

This is one of the strictest negligence standards in the country. Maryland is one of only 4 states (plus DC) that still follows this doctrine.
Maryland is a fault (tort) state. You can file a claim directly against the at-fault driver's insurance or sue them in court.
