  1. Administrative remedies only for a claimant ✓
  2. A private cause of action in every state
  3. Criminal penalties enforced by local courts
  4. An automatic treble-damages recovery

Why: Section 27-301 states the subtitle provides administrative remedies only and neither creates nor bars a private right of action — therefore the keyed answer.

  1. Each insured has separate limits
  2. Claims between insureds are always covered unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  3. The policy applies separately to each insured as though each were the only insured, except as to the limits ✓

Why: Separation of insureds applies the coverage separately to each insured (except for the shared limits), as if each were separately insured.

Why: Part Two can cover consequential bodily injury and care/loss of services (loss of consortium) suits brought by family members related to the employee's work injury.

An applicant for life insurance is refused solely because the person has the sickle-cell trait. Under MD Ins. § 27-208, this refusal is:

  1. Allowed because the trait is a rateable hazard
  2. Permitted only for term life applications
  3. Required to be reported to the Commissioner
  4. Prohibited unless there is actuarial justification ✓

Why: Section 27-208(a)(3) bars refusing to insure based solely on the sickle-cell (or similar harmless genetic) trait unless there is actuarial justification — therefore the keyed answer.

  1. accept a certified report from another state's regulator ✓
  2. revoke the insurer's certificate of authority immediately
  3. require the insurer to cease all Maryland business

  2. The vehicle was garaged in a new ZIP code
  3. The named insured's license was revoked for driving-record reasons ✓
  4. The insured added an anti-theft device

Why: Section 27-613(b)(3) permits midterm cancellation only for material misrepresentation/fraud, a threat to public safety, an increased hazard, nonpayment, or license/registration revocation of a covered driver for driving-record reasons — therefore the keyed answer.

Under MD Ins. § 2-213, on request of a party at a hearing, the Commissioner shall...?

  1. waive all formal rules of evidence for that party
  2. provide free legal counsel to the party
  3. issue subpoenas to compel witnesses or evidence ✓

Why: Insurance Article § 2-213(b) requires the Commissioner to issue subpoenas on a party's request to compel witnesses or evidence — therefore that option.

An 'additional insured' endorsement on a CGL is most commonly used to:

  1. Add a new retroactive date
  2. Increase the policy limits
  3. Extend the named insured's policy to cover another party (such as a landlord or project owner) for liability arising from the named insured's work ✓
  4. Convert occurrence to claims-made unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force according to the insurer's rules in that particular circumstance

  4. $2,500 ✓

  1. The Basic form lists fire under the policy's terms
  2. Flood caused the fire
  3. Fire is not excluded under the open-perils form ✓
  4. Theft is the cause

Why: Under the open-perils Special form, fire is a covered cause of loss because it is a risk of direct physical loss that is not excluded.

  1. Only the company's officers
  2. Members of the public near the vehicle unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force

  3. One-fourth of the actual damages recovered
  4. One-half of the actual damages recovered

  3. 4%
  4. 3.5%

  1. A higher CGL aggregate

Why: Professional services are excluded under the CGL and must be insured with a Professional Liability/E&O policy.

  1. $750 ✓
  2. $500

  4. $250

Why: Section 17-103(a)(4) provides that the Administration shall assess each self-insurer an annual sum which may not exceed $750.

  1. The Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund

  1. commercial general liability insurance
  2. workers' compensation insurance
  3. homeowners and flood insurance
  4. private passenger automobile insurance ✓

Why: Insurance Article § 2-109(c) requires a toll-free line to help consumers with private passenger automobile insurance — therefore that option.

Compared with the standard CGL, professional liability and D&O policies most often pay defense costs:

  1. Within the limit of insurance, eroding the available limit ✓
  2. Only after the SIR is doubled in that particular circumstance
  3. In addition to the limit
  4. Never

Why: Many specialty/management liability policies use defense-within-limits, so defense costs reduce the amount available for settlements.

Under MD Ins. § 27-210, which practice is expressly NOT treated as unlawful discrimination or a rebate?

  1. Paying a flat cash rebate to a chosen applicant
  2. Waiving the premium for a producer's own relatives
  3. A reduced payroll-deduction rate commensurate with savings ✓
  4. Charging different rates by an applicant's blindness

Why: Section 27-210(f) provides that issuing contracts on a salary-savings or payroll-deduction plan at a reduced rate commensurate with the savings is not discrimination or a rebate — therefore the keyed answer.

A homeowner's insurer cancels a policy based solely on the insured's low credit score. Under MD Ins. § 27-501, this action is:

  1. Allowed if credit is actuarially justified
  2. Permitted at the policy anniversary only
  3. Allowed with 10 days' written notice
  4. Prohibited for homeowner's insurance ✓

Why: Section 27-501(e-2)(2) bars refusing to underwrite, cancelling, or refusing to renew a homeowner's risk based in whole or in part on the credit history of the applicant or insured — therefore prohibited.

  1. Covered automatically up to actual cash value in that particular circumstance
  2. Fully covered with no limit
  3. Generally excluded from Part D unless coverage is added by endorsement ✓
  4. Covered only under liability

Why: The PAP excludes custom furnishings or equipment in pickups and vans unless coverage is specifically added, often by endorsement.

  2. Within 60 days after satisfactory proof of claim
  3. Within 15 days after satisfactory proof of claim

  1. The employee must first sue in court
  2. The employer must provide compensation ✓
  3. Compensation depends on employer fault
  4. Only medical bills over $1,000 are paid

Why: Section 9-501(a) requires each employer of a covered employee to provide compensation for an accidental personal injury sustained by that employee.

  1. Negligent acts, errors, or omissions in rendering professional services ✓
  2. Fire damage to the office

Why: Section 9-509(c)(1) lets the employee bring a claim for compensation OR an action for damages when the employer fails to secure compensation.

Under PAP Part C, uninsured motorists coverage primarily pays for:

  1. Comprehensive losses
  2. Bodily injury the insured is legally entitled to recover from an uninsured at-fault driver ✓
  3. Property damage to the insured's car only unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. The insured's own at-fault liability

Why: UM coverage pays bodily injury damages the insured could have recovered from a negligent uninsured motorist; UMPD for property may be available in some states.

A tenant rents space and is contractually responsible for fire damage to the landlord's building. The best coverage is:

  1. Legal Liability Coverage (fire legal/property) ✓
  2. Personal property of others under Coverage C

  4. Builders Risk

Why: Legal Liability Coverage protects a tenant against liability for fire (or other covered peril) damage to property of others in their care, such as a leased building.
