Statute of Limitations

Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (Cts & Jud Proc § 5-101). However, Maryland follows contributory negligence — any plaintiff fault bars all recovery. The Maryland Tort Claims Act applies to state vehicle and government contractor accidents. Baltimore City and county-owned trucks require timely notice under applicable local government tort claim procedures.
