Maryland is one of the smallest states in the US and it ranks 16th amongst the states in the US for number of asbestos mesothelioma lawsuits filed.
Maryland courts and legal system tend to favor the plaintiffs in the asbestos related suits, about 9 of twelve recent cases decided in favor of the plaintiff, and about 5 of them getting verdicts of 1 million dollars and above.
Determination of Liability
Courts in Maryland adopt a pure contributory negligence system to determine Liability. Under this system, a plaintiff is not allowed to get compensation if it is determined that they contributed to their own injury in any way whatsoever.
Thus, if a jury determines that a plaintiff's own negligence contributed to his or her injuries in any way, even if it is only 1% of the fault, the plaintiff {asbestos victim} will not get any compensation for his or her injuries.
Maryland legal system also makes their courts to adopt the common law doctrine of joint and several liability in case with multiple defendants. Under joint and several liability, each defendant may be held responsible for the entire amount of judgment given, regardless of his/her fault in the injury.
