What does contributory negligence mean for my Maryland business? 

Maryland bars an injured person from recovering damages if they share any fault, even a small amount. Claims against your business may be easier to defend, but defense still costs money. If your business is the injured party, your own recovery can be barred, so strong first-party coverage matters.
