Your question assumes that Maryland law applies. Application of the substantive and procedural components of tort law is a fact intensive study. You must consult a lawyer who is familiar with Maryland law who may need to consult with a lawyer who is familiar with West Virginia law (or vice versa) in order to make some reliable determination what the limitations are. The limitations may also include a notice, screening, and other procedural steps which can be difficult when trying to reconcile the laws of two or more states. If you believe that a wrong was committed, you should immediately consult counsel. This should be a no fee consultation. Tom Zimmerman

The statute of limitations in Maryland is 3 years. When it starts to run in medical malpractice cases can be an issue, though. This assumes suit is brought in Maryland.
