There are legal deadlines for every type of claim, which the law refers to as “statutes
of limitations.” A claim filed past the statute of limitations is considered ineligible
and will be denied. For podiatrist malpractice claims,
Maryland law allows claimants three years from the date of the injury or five years from the date when the injury was first discovered – whichever is earlier. However, there are some stipulations to this filing window. We advise that you
speak to a lawyer to figure out which deadline applies to your claim.
