DEADLINES MATTER!

Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Statute of Limitation in Maryland

The statute of limitations – the deadline to file your claim – is generally two years from the date of the accident, but many factors can either shorten or lengthen the timeline of a motorcycle accident case.

When a fatal motorcycle accident occurs, eligible parties and family members may need to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Maryland law notes survivors of the victim have exactly two years following the accident to file a wrongful death suit in court

When possible, aim to do the following after a motorcycle crash:

• Remain calm
• Get yourself to safety and check for injuries
• Call emergency services if you are injured
• Take photos of the collision, your injuries, and the accident scene
• Exchange insurance and contact information
