More details to this question:
Hi, I was involved in a car accident where I rear-ended an SUV in my 2012 Fiat 500 (very compact car). I obtained seemingly minor injuries at the time, that are now aches and pains. Needless to say, my car was totaled, but none airbags (driver knee, front side and side curtain) deployed. Can I pursue legal action 8 months later?

I presume you are interested in pursuing a claim against the insurance company for the at fault vehicle. In Maryland, you typically have 3 years from the date of an accident to settle your claim or file a lawsuit in the appropriate court to protect you rights. Since you say you were injured in the collision, I suggest that you consult with an auto accident attorney. Good luck with this matter.
