Maryland Crash Investigation, Evidence Preservation & Limitations

Serious-crash evidence can disappear quickly. Maryland tort limitations periods, government-claim notice rules, policy deadlines and other claim-specific requirements should be calendared separately.

Preserve vehicle condition, event-data-recorder and telematics evidence.
Collect law-enforcement, 911, body-camera, dash-camera and dispatch records.
Identify roadway, weather, signal, surveillance and witness evidence.
Calendar the general tort limitation and any shorter MTCA, LGTCA, contractual or claim-specific deadline.

Publication review note — September 17, 2026. Verify current limitations statutes, notice rules and case-specific procedural requirements before publication.
