Baltimore Underinsured Motorist Lawyers

In the United States, an estimated 6.4 million car accidents occurred in 2005 alone. These auto wrecks result in billions of dollars of damage in medical expenses and repair costs. Due to the tremendous cost of car accidents, most states require drivers to carry insurance or proof of financial responsibility. However, not all drivers carry the coverage necessary to help you after a wreck.

If an underinsured motorist causes you to get in an accident, you may not receive the financial help that you need to cover your medical bills, property damage costs, or car repairs. However, you may still be able to pursue financial compensation. To learn more about your legal options, contact a knowledgeable Baltimore underinsured motorist attorney from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, today at 410-234-0100.

Maryland Insurance Requirements

Maryland requires its drivers to carry several different types of insurance in order to protect themselves and others in the event of an accident. Drivers should have the following:

Liability insurance
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Physical damage insurance (for drivers of loaned vehicles)

Underinsured Motorist Coverage

When you carry underinsured motorist coverage, you have financial backing should you suffer in an accident with an underinsured driver. However, your insurance company may not provide you with enough compensation if they believe that the driver at fault does indeed have enough coverage to repay you. This can leave you stuck between a driver who cannot pay and an insurance company that will not pay. We believe this is unacceptable, and we can help you fight to get the compensation you deserve.
