Maryland drivers have plenty to smile about, but not car insurance rates. Although drivers can find low rates if they search long enough, the average rates for drivers are $1,763. This amount is above the national average by about $100. Drivers don't seem to be complaining about the high cost of insurance though because they know they are getting possibly the best coverage in the country.
One of the reasons that Maryland drivers have higher rates than other drivers in the country is because their coverage minimums are higher than other states. The minimum amount of coverage that drivers can have for bodily injury is $30,000 per person and $60,000 for each accident that they are involved in. property damage coverage is kept at a $15,000 minimum. Drivers can purchase a policy that has a higher coverage, but with amounts this high, many drivers don't see the need in purchasing higher coverage. The state increased their limits on coverage in January of 2011.
Maryland, like many other states, is under the Tort system. This system requires that someone must be At Fault for any accident that occurs. This includes accidents involving other cars or personal property. After the fault has been assigned, the appropriate insurance company will pay the expenses to the correct people. A personal injury protection plan on insurance policies covers medical expenses that may be incurred after an accident. If you are at fault for an accident, then your insurance rates will rise. The amount of coverage for an uninsured motorist has also increased to $30,000 per person. This protects the driver of the vehicle as well as the owner of the vehicle. Many other states require a minimum of $25,000 for bodily injury as well as an uninsured motorist. Drivers who are involved in an accident must report the people who are in the accident to the DMV as well as providing proof of their insurance. If they cannot provide proof of their insurance, then they may lose their license for a certain amount of time. Fines are also possible after being involved in an accident.
