A: In most cases, you have three years from the date of the Maryland car crash in which you were injured to file an injury claim.
However, if for some reason you find yourself approaching or passing that deadline without having resolved the issue, you may still be able to sue based on exceptions in Maryland's Statute of Limitations.
For example, minors who were injured in a Frederick car accident typically have until age 21 to file a personal injury claim.
The deadline may be extended in some cases if a certain injury resulting from the car accident was not discovered until later. This occurs more often than you might think. Some serious internal injuries may take months for the doctor to diagnose.
For example, if you have been dealing with nagging headaches but don't discover that you have sustained a serious head injury until months later, you may be able to extend the deadline for filing a claim.
If you are unsure whether you qualify for an extension, you may want to talk to a qualified Frederick car accident attorney today to see if they can help with your case.
