Robert MacNeil • May 22, 2024

When driving in North Carolina it’s crucial to be aware of the state’s car insurance requirements . At Adams & Brown Insurance Agency we are dedicated to assisting you in understanding your responsibilities while ensuring you receive coverage. Here is a helpful guide to help you navigate the basics.

Overview of the Minimum Requirements in North Carolina

Liability Coverage

North Carolina mandates a level of liability coverage  that covers damage or injuries to others if you are found at fault in an accident.

The minimum amounts required are:

  • Bodily Injury: $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident
  • Property Damage: $25,000 per accident

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This provides protection in case you get into an accident with an underinsured driver. The minimum required amounts are:

  • Uninsured Motorist (UM): as liability coverage limits (30/60/25)
  • Underinsured Motorist (UIM): Required only if you have more than the minimum liability coverage.

Implications of Having Minimum Coverage

  • Adhering to these requirements ensures that you have permission to drive. However, it’s crucial to understand that having the coverage may leave gaps in your protection.
  • If the damage goes beyond your coverage limits, you might have to dig into your pocket. Driving uninsured could result in consequences such as fines, a suspended license. Even having your vehicle impounded.
