What is the deadline in Maryland?

Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Md. Code CJ § 5-101). The discovery rule applies for latent disease — the SoL begins when you discovered or should have discovered the connection between talcum powder and cancer. 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.
