Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

If you found evidence, albeit 10 years later of an unlawful eviction can you still proceed with a case where there were minor children(who were evicted and still minor) and does it make a difference in stopping the clock? My family was rendered homeless. I have trouble believing that we timed out of this matter because the proper authorities were notified immediately and were asked to intervene. They let things drag on and did not handle what they said they would. The child whom again is still a minor and this case happened in Montgomery.Co Maryland. Do I have any other avenues? And does it matter if your child has a learning disability.

I am not sure but I wa told this may be a tort matter but I am not sure. I also feel that my civil rights have been stripped for ten years

The statute of limitations in Maryland (meaning the legal time period to sue) for most civil matters is 3 years. Claims filed after the statute of limitations are time barred. Some exceptions exist to the three year rule, including certain instances where a defendant fraudulently conceals evidence.

This post offers general legal information and is not a substitute for legal advice. For questions on how the statute of limitations applies to a particular set of facts you are encouraged to consult an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.
