It has taken me over a year to build up the nerve to confer with a lawyer about what happened to me. Am I running out of time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Maryland against my doctor?
The statute of limitations in medical malpractice cases in Maryland is five years from the time the malpractice was committed or three years from the date the injury was discovered, whichever is shorter.

If you are hesitant to bring a medical malpractice action against your doctor you are not alone. Studies show that in most serious medical malpractice cases, the patient, or the patient’s family in wrongful death cases, does not bring malpractice action against the negligent doctor.
