FAQs

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Baltimore, Maryland?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the crash to file a car accident lawsuit in Baltimore under Maryland's statute of limitations (Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101). Wrongful death claims follow the same three-year window, measured from the date of death. Some situations carry different deadlines, including claims involving minors, crashes with government vehicles such as MTA buses or city fleet vehicles, and hit-and-run cases where the driver is later identified. Because physical evidence, surveillance footage, and witness recollections fade quickly, most Maryland attorneys recommend starting the claims process within the first few weeks after a crash.

What is Maryland's contributory negligence rule and how does it affect my car accident case?

Maryland is one of only a few states that still applies the contributory negligence rule in car accident cases. Under this rule, an injured driver who is found to share any portion of the fault for the crash, even as little as 1%, can be barred from recovering compensation. This standard is stricter than the comparative negligence systems used in most other states, where damages are simply reduced by the driver's share of fault. Because of this rule, insurance adjusters in Baltimore often focus heavily on identifying any action the injured driver took that could be framed as contributing to the accident, which is why documentation, witness statements, and police reports carry extra weight in Maryland claims .

How much does it cost to hire a Baltimore car accident lawyer at Hurt123?

Hurt123 handles Baltimore car accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which is the standard payment structure for personal injury representation in Maryland . Under a contingency arrangement, the client pays no attorney's fees upfront, and the firm's fee comes as a percentage of any settlement or verdict recovered. If no compensation is recovered, no attorney's fee is owed. Initial consultations at Hurt123 are free and carry no obligation, which allows injured drivers to understand their legal options before deciding whether to move forward

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Baltimore?

Taking a few specific steps after a Baltimore crash can protect both your health and the value of any future claim:


  • Call 911 and accept medical evaluation, since injuries like whiplash, concussions, and soft-tissue damage often show up hours or days later.
  • Photograph the vehicles, damage, license plates, road conditions, traffic signals, and any visible injuries.
  • Exchange insurance and contact information with every driver involved.
  • Collect names and phone numbers from witnesses before they leave the scene.
  • File an official report with the Baltimore Police Department, which is typically required for insurance purposes.
  • Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company until you have spoken with an attorney.
  • Be cautious about accepting a quick settlement offer, since early offers are often made before the full extent of medical treatment is known.
  • Review any settlement paperwork with an attorney before signing, because signed releases can waive your right to pursue additional compensation later.

Reviewing any settlement paperwork with an attorney before signing is generally advisable, because signed releases can waive your right to pursue additional compensation later.
