Personal injury lawsuits Baltimore, MD

What exactly constitutes a personal injury lawsuit?

A personal injury lawsuit is a legal action launched by someone who has been injured as a result of another person's negligence, carelessness, or intentional misbehavior. The action is intended to hold the responsible party accountable and seek compensation for the victim's losses. Medical bills, lost pay, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other injury-related damages are among the possible losses. Personal injury cases can come from a variety of causes, including vehicle accidents, slip and falls, medical negligence, occupational injuries, or defective products. To win a personal injury lawsuit, the injured party (also known as the plaintiff) must demonstrate that the defendant had a duty of care, breached that obligation, and caused the injury directly.

How long can I file a personal injury case in Maryland?

In Maryland, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury case is typically three years from the date of the accident or injury. This implies you have three years to sue the person or party liable for your injury. If you do not file your claim within this time frame, the court will most likely dismiss your case, and you may lose your ability to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, there are some exceptions that can shorten or lengthen this timeline. For example, if the wounded party is a minor or mentally handicapped, the clock may not begin until they achieve legal ability. In situations involving medical negligence or injuries that are not immediately detected, Maryland applies the "discovery rule," which permits victims to sue within three years of finding the injury but no later than five years after it occurred. Because these deadlines are rigorous and exceptions can be complicated, it is critical to consult with an experienced Baltimore personal injury attorney at Blank Kim Injury Law as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected and your claim is submitted on time.
