<br />MIKE CAUSEY <br />INSURANCE COMMISSIONER <br />BRIAN TAYLOR <br />STATE FIRE MARSHAL <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />January 24, 2024 <br /> <br />Re: NC State Tort <br /> <br />The State of North Carolina is self-insured and claims sovereign immunity, therefore cannot be sued <br />without its permission. For this reason, we do not purchase general liability insurance. However, by <br />statute (Chapter 143, Article 31), the State has waived its sovereign immunity against suits for negligence <br />of its employees or agents resulting from bodily injury or property damage up to a limit of $1,000,000 <br />per claim. The North Carolina Industrial Commission is constituted 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 date to be <br />placed on the certificate of coverage. <br /> <br />We trust that the above information provides the necessary certification needed by your organization. If <br />you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Latarsha Y.
