Breach of Contract in Maryland
In Maryland, an injury victim who
has been injured in a car accident may sue directly his insurance
company without suing the at-fault motorist. See Nationwide
Mutual Insurance Co. v. Webb, 291 Md. 721, 736 (1981).
Such a claim is presented as a breach of contract action, which
is filed directly against the provider of uninsured or underinsured
motorist coverage, even if no action has been filed against the
at-fault driver. Typically, our Maryland personal injury lawyers
simultaneously bring a negligence claim against at fault driver
and a breach of contract county against the client's insurance
company. In the case of under insurance, the injured victim's
insurance company pays only damages in excess of the negligent
driver's insurance policy limits.
