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. .
