Civil Actions - Maryland Transit Administration - Limitation of Tort Liability

SB 743 limits the Maryland Transit Administration's (MTA) liability for injuries or property damage caused by its operations to $400,000 per claimant per incident. It directly affects individuals injured in MTA-related incidents (e.g., bus collisions or station accidents) who seek compensation through lawsuits. Key mechanisms include requiring written notice of a claim within one year of the incident, a denial or six-month waiting period before filing suit, and a three-year filing deadline after the injury occurs. The bill does not change MTA's operational duties but restricts financial exposure for tort claims.
