Statute of Limitations

Time matters after nursing home abuse or neglect. Maryland law generally limits how long you have to file a claim. In most cases, you have three years from the date the abuse occurred or from when it was discovered to take legal action.

Waiting too long can put your case at risk. Important evidence can be lost, records may become harder to obtain, and your right to compensation could be affected. Some situations involve shorter deadlines, especially if a government-run facility is involved or if specific notice requirements apply. These rules can be complex and strictly enforced.

Acting quickly gives your legal team the best chance to preserve evidence, document what happened, and build a strong claim. Jenner Law Firm can review your situation, explain your timeline, and take immediate steps to protect your rights. Contact our team today for a free consultation.
