Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Maryland?
In Maryland, you generally have five years from the date of the negligent act or three years from the date you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. The shorter of these two time periods applies. This is known as the statute of limitations.
Do I need a certificate of merit in a Maryland medical malpractice case?
Yes, Maryland law requires that your attorney file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must state that a qualified medical expert has reviewed the case and believes that the standard of care was breached. It helps prevent frivolous lawsuits.
