Understanding Contributory Negligence Law in Maryland

What Is Contributory Negligence?

Under Maryland’s contributory negligence rule, if you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be completely barred from recovering any compensation. That means insurance companies and opposing legal teams will do everything they can to prove you shared some portion of the blame, no matter how small.
