Why Do You Need a Defective Product Attorney in Maryland?
Maryland adopted strict products liability under Restatement (Second) § 402A in Phipps v. General Motors (1976). Maryland is one of only five jurisdictions (with AL, NC, VA, D.C.) that retains pure contributory negligence — any plaintiff fault bars recovery (Coleman v. Soccer Association of Columbia, 2013, reaffirmed). The 3-year statute of limitations runs under Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101. Maryland has no general products statute of repose. Maryland is a top-tier asbestos jurisdiction — the Baltimore City and Baltimore County asbestos docket is among the country’s most active, processing thousands of cases under the leadership of plaintiff firms like Peter Angelos.
