Statute of Limitations
Maryland Code Courts and Judicial Proceedings § 5-101 provides a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule applying for latent asbestos diseases from date of mesothelioma diagnosis. Maryland follows contributory negligence — one of only five jurisdictions — meaning any contributory fault bars recovery, making expert legal representation essential.
