Figuring out if you have a case in District
Court
- When to take action - Are there time limits?
File your case as soon as it is reasonably possible. If
you wait too long, the defendant may be able to defeat your
claim by raising the statute of limitations. This is the law
which requires that suits be brought within a certain period
of time. In Maryland, most cases must be filed within three
years of the time when it was first possible to sue, but
some must be filed sooner and some may be filed later.
