Maryland Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection or "PIP" in Maryland is defined by the Marland Insurance Administration as "coverage which pays medical, loss of income, death and/or disability, and loss of services incurred as a result of an automobile accident." Maryland Insurance Article §19-505 discusses coverage in general.

• PIP is insurance coverage that an insured purchases with an automobile insurance policy and can be used to pay medical bills and lost wages for those individuals injured in a car accident.
• Benefits for medical bills and lost wages are available even if these bills or wages are paid by another source such as the other driver or your employer. This coverage extends only to those individuals who were in the vehicle that the PIP policy covers.
• PIP coverage is generally available to everyone in the vehicle at the time of the accident regardless of fault but there are exceptions to this.
• Policies in Maryland are usually written in three amounts: $2,500, $5,000 and $10,000 but can be waived. In order to waive PIP coverage it has to be done in writing.
