The state of Maryland has a statute of limitations for all personal injury cases. You have three years to file a traditional personal injury case and two years to file a Workers’ Compensation claim. You are allowed only one year to file an injury lawsuit against a government agency. However, there are exceptions to these rules. If you were under the age of 18 at the time of the injury, your statute of limitations does not start until you turn 18. Therefore, someone who was injured when they were 14 cannot file their lawsuit until they are 18. At that time, your statute of limitations will begin. If you were hurt at work or on a property, the owners may have concealed their wrongdoing. Your statute of limitations does not start until you discover the wrongdoing. It may have been 10 years since your first injury, but you did not know about your employer’s wrongdoing until yesterday. You have three years from that date to file a personal injury lawsuit and two years to file a Workers’ Compensation lawsuit.
