What Is Maryland PIP Insurance?

All vehicles registered in Maryland must maintain minimum insurance coverage of:

• $30,000 bodily injury for one person
• $60,000 total bodily injury for multiple people
• $15,000 for property damage

PIP insurance in Maryland is an expanded, and voluntary, type of car insurance that provides no-fault insurance coverage for car accidents. This means the policyholder is covered even if he or she was at fault in the crash.

State law requires auto insurance companies to offer PIP insurance to their policyholders. If a customer does not want the coverage, that person must sign a waiver stating that he or she does not want PIP coverage.

It can be expensive trying to recover after a crash, and PIP insurance is designed to help you pay the bills after being injured. Adding PIP insurance to your policy can provide extra benefits of up to a minimum of $2,500 for reasonable medical, hospital and disability costs that were a result of the accident, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration.

Full PIP Insurance versus Limited PIP Insurance

Insurance carriers in Maryland offer full PIP insurance and limited PIP insurance, and you can choose which one is better for you depending on your own situation.

Full PIP Insurance

If you are injured in a collision, full PIP can help cover your:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Disability

Full PIP is designed to help cover the post-accident costs of people who do not already have medical or disability coverage, such as through their employer.

Limited PIP Insurance

If you already have medical and disability coverage, limited PIP insurance can help provide coverage for occupants of your vehicle who were younger than age 16 at the time of the accident. Limited PIP can help you save money on your insurance policy, so you are not paying for two separate policies that offer the same coverage.

Accident victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries and other expenses from both the at-fault driver’s insurance and their own PIP insurance.

Our attorneys can help you file your PIP insurance claim and guide you through the entire process. We will work with the insurance company on your behalf to help make sure you are receiving the compensation you are owed.

Who Is Covered by Maryland PIP Insurance?

This special insurance offers extra protection not provided by regular insurance, such as coverage of your expenses even if you were the at-fault party in the car crash. Accidents do happen, and if it is found that you contributed to the collision, the insurance company may reduce or eliminate the payout you receive from normal insurance. Maryland PIP insurance can help cover your medical bills and other costs resulting from the crash if your regular insurance will not cover them.

In addition to the policyholder, full PIP coverage provides benefits to:

• All members of your family who live with you and are involved in any auto accident, including those involving uninsured or underinsured motorists
• Any individual who was injured in a crash while using the insured’s vehicle with permission
• All occupants in the insured vehicle at the time of the crash
• Individuals who are injured in a crash involving the insured vehicle, including pedestrians

How Can a Lawyer Help With My PIP Claim?

If you have Maryland PIP insurance, you may be able to collect compensation from both your own insurance company and the at-fault party’s insurance company.
