Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Suitland Maryland?
Maryland has a three year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of the accident. For property damage claims the limit is also three years. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation.
How does Maryland contributory negligence affect my case?
Maryland is one of the few states that follows pure contributory negligence. If you are found even 1 percent at fault for the crash you cannot recover damages from the other driver. This makes it important to have a lawyer who can argue you were not at fault.
What damages can I recover in a Suitland car accident case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills lost wages and property damage. You can also seek non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Maryland caps non-economic damages in personal injury cases at a limit that adjusts annually.
