<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <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 chosen <br />to waive its sovereign immunity concerning suits related to the negligence of its employees or <br />agents, leading to injuries. The indemnity extends up to a maximum of $1,000,000 for any single <br />individual arising from a singular incident (NCGS § 143-299.2). The North Carolina Industrial <br />Commission is constituted as a court for the purpose of hearing and passing upon tort claims <br />against departments, institutions, or agencies. <br /> <br />The State tort is not attached to a policy, therefore does not expire, or require an <br />expiration 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.
