There are times when a personal injury case is most appropriately filed in the District Court as opposed to the circuit court. The rules of procedure between the two different court settings will affect the timing for issuing discovery to the defendant you are suing. One example is the timing for issuing discovery interrogatories to the defendant. The Maryland rules require that the plaintiff must serve discovery interrogatories on the defendant no later then 10 days after receiving notice from the court that the defendant has filed his notice of intention to defend. As such it is good practice in the District Court particularly to serve your discovery request at the same time you serve your complaint on the defendant. Otherwise it is equally important to carefully calendar the due dates for issuing discovery, responding to discovery request, and filing your notice of intention to enter records into evidence.
