Maryland Auto Accident Laws

Maryland is a ‘No-Fault’ state in terms of non-commercial auto accidents. According to Maryland Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Laws, PIP pays for an accident victims medical, rehabilitative and living expenses after suffering an injury in a non-commercial vehicle auto accident or motorcycle accident in Maryland. PIP coverage comes into effect no matter who was at-fault in the accident. Maryland has two unique options for how PIP operates in the state: health insurance as the primary medical coverage, and lawsuit restrictions.

Maryland UMUIM Laws

As all states Maryland has underinsured motorist laws in place to compensate auto accident victims who are involved in car accidents with drivers who have inadequate insurance to pay for the resulting damage. Standard underinsured motorist coverage provides a driver with compensation for medical treatment and property repair when the following situations arise:

  1. 1. A driver who did not have sufficient liability insurance at the time of the accident to cover all related damages
  2. 2. An at-fault driver who had insurance at the time of the accident, but her insurance agency refuses to provide coverage for any damages

By contrast, Maryland uninsured motorist coverage typically compensates accident victims for medical expenses and loss wages as a result of being injured in a car accident with an uninsured driver. For instance, a motorist suffering injuries due to a hit-and-run accident can file a claim against his own insurance carrier to be compensated for medical related expenses in seeking care to treat his injury. Basically, uninsured motorist coverage is the term used when a driver insures himself against someone who has no insurance coverage at all.
