The statute of limitations in Maryland gives you three years from the date of an accident to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit. If you do not file suit within this timeframe, you might lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries. An experienced attorney can help ensure you meet all your case deadlines.

It’s also important to know that the limitations period could differ in certain circumstances. For example, the statute of limitations is shorter if you wish to file a claim against a government entity but longer if you sustained an injury as a minor. An attorney can explain the deadline that applies to your case.
