Auto Insurance Information – Maryland
Maryland’s Minimum: 30/60/15
Maryland’s Financial Responsibility Law requires liability coverage of at least $30,000 per injured person, $60,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. That’s the legal floor — one serious crash on the interstate can exceed it quickly, and whatever is left comes out of your pocket.
Fault State, Many Uninsured
Maryland is a fault state: the driver who caused the crash pays. But an estimated 16.9% of Maryland drivers were uninsured in 2023 (Insurance Research Council). Uninsured motorist coverage is required on Maryland policies — it’s how you protect yourself from them.
Driving in Chevy Chase
Nearly every trip in Chevy Chase starts with a car — that is simply daily life here. Add Maryland’s coastal storms, nor’easters and flash flooding, and comprehensive coverage — the kind that pays for weather damage — earns its keep here.
Why It Matters
State minimums keep you legal; they don’t make you whole. With Chevy Chase’s median home value around $1,245,000, most households here have far more to protect than a 30/60/15 policy covers. The right limits are based on what you own, not just what the state requires.
Chevy Chase Area Risk & Demographics
Traffic & Commuting: Chevy Chase is a driving community: work, school and shopping all run on local roads across the area. Steady everyday traffic — not highway pileups — is where most local collision claims begin.
What Local Households Protect: The median home value in Chevy Chase is about $1,245,000 — above the Maryland median of $419,900. That is the scale of assets a state-minimum liability policy leaves exposed after a serious at-fault crash — the gap between staying legal and staying whole.
The Statewide Picture: Maryland is a fault state, and an estimated 16.9% of its drivers were uninsured in 2023 (Insurance Research Council) — above the national average of 15.4%. Uninsured motorist coverage is how Chevy Chase drivers protect themselves from that risk, and Maryland’s coastal storms, nor’easters and flash flooding make comprehensive coverage — the kind that pays for weather damage — a practical part of the same decision.
