Act Promptly to Meet Personal Injury Case Filing Deadlines in Maryland
If settlement negotiations in your truck accident case are prolonged or a settlement is not forthcoming, our lawyer can take additional legal action on your behalf. However, there is limited time to take action for your case, so we advise starting promptly after your crash.
In Maryland:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the truck accident, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally three years from the truck accident-related loss of a family member, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904
If your case is not filed before the statute of limitations expires, you might be unable to file it at all. Even if you do manage to file your case late, the at-fault party’s representative can request — and is likely to be granted — its immediate dismissal.
With sufficient notice from you, we ensure timely filing and protect your case from these negative consequences.

Liability for Truck Accident Cases in Maryland
A primary reason truck accident cases are complicated is because they can have more than one at-fault party, which can make accurately assigning and apportioning liability complicated. When our law firm handles your case, we start by identifying all potentially liable parties that may be responsible for compensating you.
These can include:
The Truck Driver
The driver could be liable for your damages if their actions contributed to the accident. Driver negligence can include distractions, intoxication, and other traffic violations. The driver could also be liable if he is an owner/operator of the truck.
The Trucking Company
The truck driver’s employer could ultimately bear liability for an employee’s negligence on the roads. The trucking company could also be liable if they hired an untrained or unlicensed driver or if he encouraged his driver to falsify or exceed hours-of-service regulations. The company could also be liable if they failed to properly maintain their vehicle.
The Truck or Parts Manufacturer
If your accident was caused by a manufacturing or design flaw or defect, the company that manufactured your truck could be liable for your injuries. If faulty or defective tires, brakes, windshield wipers, or other components caused the accident, their maker can be held liable.
