Where to File in Maryland
Maryland personal injury claims are governed by Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101, providing a 3-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County, Joint Base Andrews in Prince George's County, and NAS Patuxent River in St. Mary's County are the primary military PFAS contamination sites. Maryland's proximity to Washington DC and the dense concentration of military facilities in the DC metro area create significant PFAS exposure populations.
