Who Has the Right to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Maryland?
Maryland law establishes a specific order of priority for family members who wish to bring a wrongful death claim. The state grants the primary right to file to the surviving spouse, parents, or children of the deceased. If no individuals from this primary group survive, the statute extends eligibility to secondary beneficiaries, defined as any person related by blood or marriage who depended substantially on the deceased for support.
We understand that making sense of who can file a claim in the aftermath of a tragedy can be stressful and confusing. Our attorneys can review your circumstances and help you understand your legal options at no cost to you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Maryland?
In Maryland, the statute of limitations generally grants you three years from the date of your loved one's passing to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This strict three-year deadline applies to fatalities resulting from vehicular accidents and premises liability accidents, including slips and falls. Wrongful death cases involving medical malpractice can sometimes be more complicated, but in many situations, a three-year time limit from the date of the victim’s passing still applies. Certain exceptions can affect these time limits, and we can determine the deadlines that apply to your case.
While three years might seem like a long time, early action allows our lawyers at Antezana & Antezana, LLC. to preserve essential evidence, interview witnesses while memories remain fresh, and build the strongest possible argument for your family. Maryland courts enforce these time limits rigorously, and missing the deadline usually results in a complete loss of your right to seek justice. We encourage you to discuss your legal options with us immediately so we can protect your interests and begin the necessary investigation.
What Types of Compensation Are Available in a Wrongful Death Case?
Under Maryland law, eligible family members generally have the right to pursue two distinct categories of compensation: economic damages, which calculate verifiable financial losses, and non-economic damages, which acknowledge the significant emotional impact of your loss. We can carefully analyze your financial situation to determine the full value of the economic support your loved one provided, while also articulating the depth of your emotional suffering to the court or insurance company.
Economic damages include:
- Lost wages the deceased would have earned
- Loss of the deceased’s employment benefits, such as health insurance or pensions
- Value of specific household services the deceased provided, such as childcare, home maintenance, and chores
- Funeral and burial expenses
