Required Minimum Liability Coverage

Maryland requires minimum liability of 30/60/15 — $30,000 bodily injury per person, $60,000 bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 property damage. These are state minimums; consumer advocates typically recommend higher limits (100/300/100) to cover serious injuries.

Bodily Injury Coverage Requirements

Bodily injury liability in Maryland pays for medical bills, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages owed to people YOU injure in an at-fault crash. The minimum is $30,000 per injured person and $60,000 total per accident. These are caps on what your insurer will pay; you are personally liable for damages above the policy limit.

Property Damage Coverage

Property damage liability in Maryland pays for damage YOU cause to other people's vehicles, fences, buildings, and other property. The minimum is $15,000 per accident. Given the rising cost of vehicles and repairs, this minimum often falls short of a single luxury vehicle's repair bill.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Maryland REQUIRES uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on every auto policy. UM/UIM coverage at 30/60/15 is mandatory and matches the liability minimums. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Maryland requires insurers to OFFER PIP of at least $2,500, but the insured may waive it in writing. PIP pays medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault and can speed claim resolution.

No-Fault System

Maryland requires insurers to offer PIP of at least $2,500, but the insured may waive in writing. Maryland is an add-on (not true) no-fault state.

Self-Insurance & Bond Alternatives

Self-insurance available for fleets of 25+ vehicles through the MVA. SR-22 may be required after DUI, uninsured accidents, or repeat suspensions.
