How Maryland law treats chemical burns

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.

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
