(i) the insurer shows that its established procedures would have
resulted in placing the notice of renewal premium due in the United States mail; and
(ii) there is no showing that in fact the notice was not placed in the
mail.
(b) If an insurer fails to provide notice of renewal premium due under
subsection (a) of this section, and subsequently the policyholder fails to make timely
payment of the renewal premium, the insurer must:
(1) provide coverage for each claim that:
(i) would have been covered under the policy; and
(ii) arises within 45 days after the date the insured discovers or
should have discovered that the policy was not renewed; and
(2) renew the policy on tender of payment within 30 days after the
policyholder discovers or should have discovered that the policy was not renewed.
[27-608.] 27-611.
Before the actual expiration of a policy of motor vehicle insurance that results
from nonpayment of a renewal premium, the insurer shall provide notice to the
insured in clear and specific terms that if the insured fails to renew or replace the
motor vehicle insurance before the due date, § 17-106 of the Transportation Article
provides that uninsured motorist penalties be assessed and that evidences of
registration be surrendered to the Motor Vehicle Administration and that failure to
surrender the evidences of registration may result in suspension of current and future
registration privileges.
[27-609.] 27-612.
(a) (1) If an insurer fails to comply with any provision of [§ 27-601,] §
27-602, § 27-603, § 27-604, § 27-605, [or] § 27-606, § 27-607, § 27-608, § 27-610,
OR § 27-613 of this subtitle, the insurer is liable to the applicant for the coverage that
was requested, or that would have become effective except for the failure to comply
with these provisions, unless the person seeking coverage:
(i) no longer wishes the coverage;
(ii) has obtained other substantially equivalent coverage; or
(iii) fails to tender or pay the premium after reasonable demand for
the premium has been made.
(2) The liability of an insurer under paragraph (1) of this subsection is in
addition to any other penalties applicable by law.
(b) Liability for coverage does not apply to failure to comply with [§ 27-608] §
27-611 of this subtitle, as it relates to motor vehicle liability insurance.
