  • a.Collision and comprehensive
  • b.Gap and rental reimbursement
  • c.Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) and personal injury protection (PIP)
  • d.Towing and roadside assistance

Maryland Auto Coverage Requirements

How is Maryland's auto system best characterized with respect to the right to sue?

  • a.A pure no-fault state that bars most auto injury lawsuits
  • b.An 'add-on' PIP state: PIP first-party benefits are required, but the injured party keeps the full right to sue the at-fault driver
  • c.A pure tort state with no first-party medical coverage available
  • d.A state-run fund that pays all injury claims

Maryland is an add-on state: it requires personal injury protection (first-party medical/wage benefits) but is not a no-fault state, so an injured person retains the full right to sue the at-fault driver. Confirm the current PIP requirement and any waiver with the Maryland Insurance Administration.
