Valet Parking Liability Laws in Maryland
Governing Bailment Law
Maryland common law bailment principles
Statute of Limitations
You have 3 years for property damage (MD Code, Courts & Judicial Proceedings §5-101) to file a claim for valet parking damage in Maryland.
Notable Application
Maryland courts recognize bailment in commercial parking; the burden of proof shifts to the bailee to show damage was not caused by negligence.
