Statute of Limitations
Maryland: 3 years for product liability (Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101). Discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its connection to the product.
3 years from discovery of injury
Where to File in Maryland
Maryland has one federal judicial district — the District of Maryland, with courthouses in Baltimore and Greenbelt. Maryland follows a contributory negligence system — one of the few remaining states where any plaintiff fault bars recovery in negligence claims — though this is less relevant in strict liability product claims. Maryland does not cap non-economic damages in most product liability cases (the cap applies only to personal injury claims, not wrongful death).
