Baltimore Uninsured Motorist Attorneys

Most states require drivers to have car insurance or proof of financial responsibility, and Maryland is no exception. Car insurance enables drivers to be financially responsible for any accidents they may cause. However, not everyone follows these requirements, which places uninsured motorists on the roads with drivers who are obeying the law.

When you are involved in a wreck, both you and your car may suffer from damage. Medical bills and vehicle repair costs can be expensive, but car insurance exists to help pay for these damages. However, if someone causes a wreck but does not have insurance, you may be stuck paying for the damages yourself. To fight back against an uninsured motorist who has caused you injury, contact the experienced Baltimore uninsured motorist attorneys of Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, today at 410-234-0100.

Maryland Insurance Requirements

Like most states, Maryland requires that drivers carry several types of car insurance. The coverage that drivers must have includes:

Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Liability insurance
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Physical damage insurance (if you are driving a vehicle on loan)

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

The state of Maryland requires uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage so that drivers who are hurt in a hit-and-run or injured due to an uninsured driver can still receive the compensation they deserve. However, this coverage generally has a limit of up to $20,000 per person, or $40,000 for total bodily injury cost if there are multiple passengers. It also covers $15,000 of property damage per person.
