North Carolina Standards
NC Minimum Requirements vs. True Protection
North Carolina law requires all drivers to carry liability insurance, but minimum limits often aren't enough to fully protect your assets in a serious accident.
State Minimums
The bare minimum required to legally drive in Durham:
- Bodily Injury (Per Person)$30,000
- Bodily Injury (Per Accident)$60,000
- Property Damage$25,000
Warning: Minimum limits leave you highly vulnerable to out-of-pocket costs if you cause a multi-car or severe accident.
Recommended Protection
What we typically recommend for full asset protection:
- Bodily Injury (Per Person)$100,000+
- Bodily Injury (Per Accident)$300,000+
- Property Damage$100,000+
Higher limits cost surprisingly little extra per month and provide exponentially more protection for your family.
