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 a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims (Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101). CRITICAL: Maryland applies the contributory negligence doctrine — any assigned plaintiff fault bars recovery entirely. As with Virginia, this doctrine is less commonly triggered in pharmaceutical failure-to-warn cases, but shapes litigation strategy. Maryland has significant opioid treatment populations in Baltimore, Prince George's County, and the Eastern Shore.
