FAQ

What is a statute of limitation? The phrase "statute of limitations" refers to the limited period of time within which you can file a lawsuit against someone who harmed you. In Maryland, for most civil actions you have a period of three years after the act which caused you the harm to file a lawsuit.

Maryland provides a 20-year period for actions for damages involving improvements to real property, but shortens the period to 10 years for actions against architects, professional engineers or contractors. Md. Code Ann. § 5-108.

Since its foundation in 1983, the Society of Construction Law has worked to promote for the public benefit education, study and research in the field of construction law and related subjects (including adr, arbitration and adjudication), both in the UK and overseas.

In Maryland, parties must file most cases within 3 years of the time when it was first possible to file. If you are making an old claim, the Court may dismiss your case by “statute of limitations.” If you are uncertain, consult your attorney.

In Maryland, for example, the statue of repose bars construction defect claims after twenty years, yet many carriers will not provide coverage beyond ten years. Furthermore, some states impose other statutory schemes that also act to control the period for filing suit.
