Maryland Wrongful Death: A Northern Virginia Family’s Guide
A Northern Virginia family's guide to wrongful death claims in Maryland. I walk readers through the Maryland Wrongful Death Act at Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code Section 3-901, the indexed noneconomic damages cap at Section 11-108 (with 150-percent multiple-beneficiary adjustment), the separate medical malpractice cap at Section 3-2A-09, the 3-year statute of limitations, the Maryland Tort Claims Act and Local Government Tort Claims Act with their 1-year notice and damages caps, the survival action at Section 7-401(y) of the Estates and Trusts Code, the Certificate of Qualified Expert requirement, Maryland's retained contributory negligence rule, and how NoVA-to-MD travel and daily-life spillover patterns generate cross-jurisdictional cases.
