As a “Tort” state, all North Carolina drivers are held financially responsible and accountable for any injuries and/or property damages that occurred during an accident for which the driver is at fault. For this reason, North Carolina has made it a state law to carry certain auto insurance if you own or operate a vehicle in the state.

First, a minimum liability insurance level of 30/60/25 (see the chart below) is required to fulfill your responsibility. This will help to cover damages which you cause.
