Liability Rates Rise 3.9 Percent in North Carolina
In Raleigh AP report, private passenger automobile liability insurance in North Carolina will rise 3.9 percent on Wednesday. Insurance commissioner Edwin S. Lanier announced the order after the rate office sought 5 percent. Lanier rejected the higher request, with Wake County Judge Henry A. McKinnon Jr. ordering a new public hearing and additional evidence on average claims through Dec. 31, 1967. Lanier then set the 3.9 percent increase, saying rates must be reasonable and not unfairly discriminatory.
