Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Maryland

Re: malpractice

Yes. Generally the time limit is three years. The three years begins when you knew or should have known, by the reasonable person standard, that you had a cause of action. There are several exceptions to this rule.

If the person is a minor the limitation period is, in most cases, age 21. The period extends prior to age 18 is certain cases.

There is also an exception for continuing care which essentially is where occurence of medical malpractice is not specific to a date.

Medical malpractice is a significant legal matter and if you believe harm has been caused then contact an attorney immediately.
