Residents of Maryland can be injured in an accident anywhere in the country, as people frequently travel across state lines. When a Marylander suffers an injury in another state, he or she may have the choice to bring suit in the local state court or the federal court system- depending on the amount of damages the injured person is claiming and the location of the defendant. For example, a Maryland citizen injured in another state may sometimes choose to bring a claim in that state's court or a federal court located in that state.
