In general terms, a personal injury lawsuit can be brought in the state of Maryland when the actions of another cause you serious injury. The basis for filing a personal injury claim in Maryland rests on the allegations that the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of the other person (or entity) was the proximate cause of your injury. The alleged negligence must be proven by you – as the plaintiff – and that includes demonstrating or showing the defendant did not exercise “reasonable care” in order to avoid an accident or incident. To determine whether or not you have a valid personal injury claim, you should speak with a dedicated personal injury lawyer who understands the nuanced variability of these cases in the Maryland court system.
