Serious injuries can impact every part of your life. Our Baltimore injury lawyers represent individuals and families throughout Maryland who need experienced legal guidance after an accident.
Were you hurt in a car wreck, workplace accident, or any other injury in Baltimore? Maryland gives you three years from the date of the injury to file a claim under Md. Courts & Judicial Proceedings § 5-101. Maryland follows a contributory negligence rule. If an insurer proves you were even partly liable, you may not receive anything at all. Call Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys for a free case review.
In Maryland, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years. Md. Courts & Judicial Proceedings § 5-101 sets that deadline. If you miss it by even one day, the court could dismiss your case, regardless of the evidence.
Maryland is one of only a handful of states that use a contributory negligence rule. Most states reduce your recovery if you share some blame. Maryland works differently.
If you are found even 1% at fault for an accident, you may lose all rights to compensation. Insurers use this rule aggressively. Our attorneys could challenge that argument and fight to protect your claim.
Did your accident involve a city vehicle, a state-maintained road hazard, or any government-owned property? Shorter deadlines may apply to your case, as set by the Maryland Local Government Tort Claims Act. Claims against local government entities require written notice. That written notice must be delivered within 180 days after the injury.
Then, claims against state agencies require notice within one year, under the Maryland Tort Claims Act. Both windows are shorter than the standard three-year deadline. Missing those steps could end a valid claim before it begins.
Baltimore is home to some of the most congested roads on the East Coast. More than 200,000 commuters pour into the city every day. The Baltimore City Department of Transportation released data as part of its Baltimore Vision Zero Action Plan. According to that report, Baltimore experienced more than 15,000 crashes, with 508 serious injuries and 64 deaths.
Common accident sites include Interstate 95, Interstate 83, and the I-695 Baltimore Beltway.
Interstate 95 (I-95) is the most dangerous highway in Maryland. The highway includes the Fort McHenry Tunnel, where lane changes are impossible. A single crash could stop traffic completely. A stretch of road, where I-95 meets I-395, is one of the most documented crash zones in the city. Commuters, commercial trucks, and event traffic all meet at high speed.
Then, Interstate 83 (I-83), or the Jones Falls Expressway, connects downtown Baltimore to the northern suburbs. This is one of the city’s most consistently dangerous roads. Tight curves, shoulders, and merge points are near Penn Station. Drivers have almost no room to react when something goes wrong.
Circling the entire city, the I-695 Baltimore Beltway connects every major interstate in the region. Crashes are common, especially near the I-83 junction in Towson. In 2024, the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse redirected traffic onto the Beltway, increasing travel on a busy corridor.
Evidence disappears quickly after a crash. Speak with an attorney before you talk to any insurance adjuster. Anything you say to the insurance company may be used against you later.
