If the emergency vehicle was owned by the State of Maryland, you have to timely file a claim with the office of the State Treasurer within 1 year of the incident. If the emergency vehicle was owned by the City of Baltimore, you have to timely file a claim with the City Law Department within 6 months of the incident. Good luck with this matter.
