Required car insurance coverages in Maryland

There are 3 types of coverage you'll need on your Maryland policy: liability, personal injury protection, and uninsured motorist liability.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance helps handle others' injury expenses and property damage if you're at fault in a car accident. Your liability coverages need to have the following limits:

$30,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person
$60,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per incident
$15,000 in property damage per incident

These limits will often appear as 30/60/15, and you'll be able to select higher limits when you build and buy your policy.

Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage

Maryland requires its drivers to have at least $2,500 in PIP coverage, also known as no-fault insurance, to help cover accident-related medical expenses for you and your passengers. If you're in an accident, PIP can help you with the following expenses:

Medical fees (nursing, prosthetics, surgery, etc.)
Wage compensation (if you miss work because of an injury)
Substitute services (if you need help with household tasks because of an injury)
Funeral expenses

There are 2 different forms of PIP to choose between — full or limited. Limited PIP covers children (under 16) in your household and injured pedestrians, but it doesn't cover you, the policyholder, or family members 16 or older residing at home.

Uninsured motorist bodily injury liability coverage

Uninsured motorist coverage can help pay for your medical bills after an accident with an at-fault uninsured driver. The minimum limits you can select are $30,000 per person, $60,000 per incident.

Uninsured motorist property damage liability coverage

Similar to the above, but this coverage can pay for damage to your car after an accident with an at-fault uninsured driver. The minimum limit is $15,000 per incident.

Uninsured drivers in Maryland

Uninsured drivers in Maryland can lose their license plates and may need to pay an uninsured motorist fee of at least $150 (in addition to other fines and charges).

Percentage of drivers without car insurance

A 2011 report from the Insurance Research Council estimated that 15 percent of Maryland drivers were uninsured in 2009. This was slightly higher than the national average of 13.8 percent.
