Suing the negligent driver for a car accident related injuries is possible as per the laws. However, if you delay in doing this, you may lose this right. These laws come under the state legal statutes, and every state has a statute of limitations mentioning the period within which you may file an injury suit.

If you were involved in a car accident in the Prince George’s County, the Maryland statute of limitations would be applicable on your case. In this case, you need to file an injury lawsuit within three years from the date of the accident. Otherwise, you miss your right to damage recovery.

This statute does not hold ground if the negligent driver is a government entity. If it was the responsibility of a local government entity, you only have 180 days from the date of the car accident to file a claim. You have 365 days from the date of the incident if the negligent party was the State of Maryland.

Getting a competent Prince George’s County car accident attorney is even more important when the negligent party is a government entity. Establishing negligence in such cases involves complex legal issues, and you had better get a legal practitioner if you want to approach the matter properly.
