Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a product liability lawsuit in Maryland?
In Maryland you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This is set by Maryland Code Courts and Judicial Proceedings Section 5-101. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
What types of product defects can I claim in Damascus?
You can claim design defects that make a product inherently unsafe, manufacturing defects that occur during production, or failure to provide adequate warnings about risks. Maryland law recognizes all three types under strict liability and negligence theories.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was careless to win my case?
No, not always. Under Maryland strict liability law, you only need to show the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer. This can make it easier to recover compensation without proving negligence.
