Maryland Car Insurance Requirements (Part B)

Although no one ever expects to be in a collision, minimum Maryland car insurance requirements exist to protect motorists when accidents occur; however, not everyone has the car insurance that they should. If you are involved in an accident with a motorist who is not adequately insured, then you should meet with a Baltimore County injury attorney to discuss the circumstances of your case and to determine if you are eligible to file an accident claim for damages you sustained because of another driver's negligence.

When Motorists Fail to Meet Maryland Car Insurance Requirements

If you do not have proper insurance, not only are you more likely to be personally and financially liable if you are at fault in an accident, but you also may have your license suspended or even face jail time.

For each lapse of insurance in Maryland, certain penalties are imposed.

• $150 for the first 30 days after an insurance lapse and $7 for each day afterwards;
• $25 restoration fee for a vehicle's registration;
• You may be prevented from registering vehicles in the future until previous insurance infractions have been sorted;
• Once a registration suspension is in effect, a tag recovery agent may confiscate your license plates; and
• In addition, a fine of up to $1,000 may be applied and/or a 1 year imprisonment if you provide false evidence of insurance.

As you can see, it is crucial that you ensure your vehicles are properly insured to avoid facing steep penalties. When you are involved in an accident with a motorist who does not meet the Maryland car insurance requirements, contact a Baltimore County injury attorney who can answer your questions and guide you through the process of filing a claim.
