Maryland Contributory Negligence Statute
from Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog
I reported here last year that the Maryland Court of Appeals - or at least Judge Bell - is looking at whether the Maryland high court should adopt comparative negligence in Maryland. Republicans in the Maryland House of Delegates are trying to beat the court to the punch by introducing House Bill 1129 which would make contributory negligence codified Maryland law.
To my knowledge, I don't think any state in recent history has codified contributory negligence.
