If you have been in a Maryland car accident, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that if you are insured by a Maryland insurance policy, you probably have at least $2,500.00 in PIP coverage (aka "personal injury protection" coverage). This is no fault insurance, and it will cover your medical bills and/or a portion of your lost wages. The PIP money is collectable from your own insurance company and it is in addition to what you can collect from the other driver's insurance company if you are not at fault for the accident. Maryland car accident victims can often get paid twice for the medical bills and lost wages: once from their own PIP coverage and again from the at fault driver's insurance company.
The bad news is that Maryland is a pure contributory negligence state. That means that if you are found to be even one percent at fault, then you are completely barred from recovering from the other driver even if the other driver is 99% at fault.
