01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Maryland?
Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of discovery — more favorable than many states. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Maryland has PFAS contamination from multiple military installations including Aberdeen Proving Ground, Andrews AFB (Joint Base Andrews), and Patuxent River Naval Air Station. The Chesapeake Bay watershed has been affected by PFAS discharge from industrial and military sources. Communities in Harford County, Prince George's County, and St. Mary's County are priority areas.
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.
