Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Re: Auto accident

For a tort action (i.e., personal injury against the driver) the statute of limitation is generally three years. For an action against the insurance company for a breach of contract the statute of limitation can be one of several possibilities and is generally two or three years.

Re: Auto accident

Generally, the statute of limitations in Maryland (that is, the time in which you will have to file a lawsuit) is three years from the date of the incident giving rise to the lawsuit. However, there are many exceptions to this general rule--it is not a bad idea to talk to an attorney to make sure one of those exceptions does not apply to you.
