Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim in Maryland?
Maryland law specifically designates which family members hold the legal standing to bring a wrongful death claim. The statute prioritizes “primary beneficiaries,” a group that includes the surviving spouse, parents, and children of the deceased. These immediate family members typically have the first right to seek compensation for their losses.
If no primary beneficiaries exist, the law allows “secondary beneficiaries” to file a claim. This category generally includes individuals related to the deceased by blood or marriage who relied substantially on the deceased for financial support. These rules can sometimes be confusing, but we can clarify who has the right to file a lawsuit in your specific case.
Types of Compensation Available in Wrongful Death Cases
You shouldn’t have to worry about how you will cover the financial consequences that inevitably come with the loss of your loved one. Maryland law divides the compensation available in wrongful death cases into two primary categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are intended to reimburse your family for the tangible financial losses caused by the death. These losses can be quantified with objective documentation.
How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Maryland?
In Maryland, eligible family members generally have three years from the date of their loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This time limit typically applies to cases involving fatal vehicular accidents and premises liability accidents, including slips and falls. A three-year deadline also applies to many wrongful death cases involving medical malpractice, but eligible family members may have more time if their case involves fraud, continuous treatment, or other specific exceptions permitted under the law.
If you miss the relevant deadline, you will likely be barred from proceeding with your case or recovering any compensation. We urge you to seek legal guidance immediately to protect your claim. An early investigation gives our team at Antezana & Antezana, LLC. more of an opportunity to preserve essential evidence before it disappears and interview witnesses before memories fade.
Navigating the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim while grieving is a burden you shouldn't have to carry alone. Call or contact us online to learn more about how we may be able to help today.
