Description
Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund v. Ralph Perry No. 43, Sept. Term, 1999 Owner of insured vehicle with PIP coverage not disqualified from receiving PIP benefits for injuries sustained while occupying insured vehicle because owner also owns another uninsured vehicle. In January, 1994, respondent, Ralph Perry, owned two cars - a 1991 Chevrolet that was insured by the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund (MAIF) and a 1990 Chevrolet that was uninsured. On January 24, while driving the insured vehicle, he was in an accident and, as a result, incurred medical expenses and wage losses aggregating $1,373. His MAIF insurance policy contained Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage that provided for the payment of up to $2,500 for such medical expenses and wage losses. Notwithstanding that coverage, MAIF refused to pay the benefits, contending that (1) Perry's ownership of an uninsured vehicle caused him to be in violation of Maryland Code, § 17-103 of the Transportation Article, and (2) as a result of that violation, payment of the PIP benefits was precluded by Maryland Code, Article 48A, § 543(b)(2), which appears now as § 19-513(c)(2) of the Insurance Article. 1
