Description
This Court, on a number of occasions, has held that, under Marylands compulsory automobile insurance statute, contractual exclusions in automobile insurance policies that excuse or reduce benefits below the minimum statutorily required levels or types of coverage, and are not expressly authorized by the General Assembly, are invalid. Relevant to the present declaratory judgment action, the insured, a student employed as a part-time pizza delivery driver, was involved in a two car motor vehicle accident while on the job. His insurer, relying on a so-called "pizza exclusion" in the insurance policy contract, declined to indemnify or defend its insured regarding claims brought by the other driver. The "pizza exclusion," which purports to allow the insurer to deny coverage if an insured driver was delivering "property for compensation" at the time of the accident, is not authorized expressly under the statute. Thus, we shall hold that the exclusion is invalid.
