What Maryland requires
Drivers in Maryland must carry at least 30/60/15 in liability coverage before getting on the road. That means the state sets minimum limits for bodily injury and property damage you might cause to others. Meeting the minimum keeps you legal, but it's worth remembering that a single serious accident can quickly exceed low limits — leaving you responsible for the rest.
