Butte Faces Highest Auto Liability Rates in Eight States
Butte, excluding San Francisco, will have the highest automobile liability insurance rate in eight Western states after a roughly 50 percent rate hike announced yesterday. Butte casualty firms received new schedules showing a sharp 100 percent rise in a year. The action follows a high number of auto accidents in the Butte area last year, with early notices of 30 to 50 percent increases issued by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters last February. The new ratings indicate Butte’s accident rate surpasses that of Los Angeles.
