Statute of Limitations
Maryland personal injury SOL: 3 years (Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101). Minor tolling: SOL tolled until age 18, then 3-year SOL runs — child's claim expires at age 21 (§ 5-201). Wrongful death: 3 years from death (Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-904). Maryland follows pure contributory negligence — any plaintiff fault bars all recovery. Maryland caps non-economic damages in wrongful death (currently ~$935,000) and personal injury cases.
Age 21 for surviving minor's personal injury claim; 3 years from death for wrongful death
