Maryland Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Contributory Negligence Bar, and MGTCA One-Year Notice
Maryland's general personal-injury statute of limitations is three years under Md. Code, Cts. and Jud. Proc. 5-101. The traps: pure contributory negligence (any fault by the plaintiff is a complete bar), a one-year MGTCA notice for local-government claims, and a one-year notice under the Maryland Tort Claims Act for State defendants.
