Statute of Limitations for automobile accident injury?

College Park, MD Viewed 40 times. Posted 28 days ago in Personal Injury

A man driving his girlfriend's car hit my automobile in October 2007. After dealing with her insurance company (State Farm) they covered my rental and car repairs. Since that time I have had very bad back pain. Is it too late to sue? I am a Maryland resident, although the accident occurred in Washington D.C.

You can file a lawsuit in DC or the state where the man who hit you currently resides. Where you live is irrelevant. DC has three years statute of limitations, Maryland also three and Virginia two. It may be too late to sue in Virginia, but you have time to hire a lawyer and file a DC suit.

The statute of limitations for an auto accident is three years in Maryland and Washington, D.C. It is not too late to sue.
