Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Re: Auto accident claim

The statute of limitations for filing a complaint in court is 3 years from the date of discovery of the cause of action, in this instance March 2005. You would be precluded from filing suit.

You may continue to resolve the matter through an insurance claim, but having lost the ability to file suit is significant.

Whether the offer is adequate is something that I would need to evaluate. You must understand that immediate action is necessary. Contact me should you desire representation.

To clarify, you would be precluded from filing suit on March 1, 2008. Loss of the ability to file suit is significant.

Re: Auto accident claim

In MD you have 3 years from the accident to file suit (assuming it's not a governmental entity that you would be suing, or other unusual circumstances). But $35,000? That's a lot for a whiplash case, again absent unusual circumstances.

Re: Auto accident claim

It is definitely NOT too late, but you ry should act quickly. Presuming that this happened in Maryland, the statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of the accident.

I really have a bunch of other questions to evaluate your prospects and the $35,000 offer that was already made to you.

Give me a call if you want to chat about your options and prospects.
