<br />MIKE CAUSEY <br />INSURANCE COMMISSIONER <br /> <br />BRIAN TAYLOR <br />STATE FIRE MARSHAL <br /> <br />OFFICE OF STATE FIRE MARSHAL <br />1202 MAIL SERVICE CENTER I RALEIGH NC 27699-1202 I TEL 919.647.0000 I Fax 866.851.6508 I WWW.NC OSFM.GOV <br /> <br /> <br />February 19, 2024 <br /> <br />Re: NC State Tort <br /> <br />The State of North Carolina, being self-insured and holding sovereign immunity, is not <br />susceptible to legal action without its explicit permission. Consequently, we do not procure <br />liability insurance. However, pursuant to statute (Chapter 143, Article 31), the State has <br />chosen to waive its sovereign immunity concerning suits related to the negligence of its <br />employees or agents, leading to injuries. The indemnity extends up to a maximum of <br />$1,000,000 for any single individual arising from a singular incident (NCGS § 143-299.2). The <br />North Carolina Industrial Commission is constituted as a court for the purpose of hearing and <br />passing upon tort claims against departments, institutions, or agencies. <br /> <br />The State tort is not attached to a policy, therefore does not expire, or require an expiration <br />date to be placed on the certificate of coverage. <br /> <br />We trust that the above information provides the necessary certification needed by your <br />organization. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Latarsha Y.
