How Maryland law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Maryland is one of the last states applying pure contributory negligence: any fault attributable to the injured person, even a small share, bars recovery completely.

Coleman v. Soccer Ass'n of Columbia, 432 Md. 679 (2013)

Damage caps

Maryland caps non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases, not just malpractice. The cap rises by $15,000 every October 1 and stands at $965,000 for claims arising between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.

Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 11-108

Claims against government

A claim against a Maryland local government must be filed within one year of the injury.

Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-304
