Where to File in Maryland
Maryland gabapentin cases may be filed in the District of Maryland (Baltimore or Greenbelt divisions) or in Maryland circuit courts. Baltimore City Circuit Court handles complex pharmaceutical litigation. Maryland follows contributory negligence, which bars plaintiff recovery if the plaintiff was negligent — though this is rarely applicable in pharmaceutical product liability cases. The state does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases (medical malpractice caps do not apply to product claims).
