How much liability insurance do I really need?

Short answer: There's no single right number, but a common guideline is to carry enough liability coverage to protect your net worth — your savings, home equity, and future income — since that's what's exposed if you cause a serious accident.

State minimums are often far below the cost of a serious injury claim, and once your limits are exhausted, your personal assets can be on the hook for the rest. Many drivers carry 100/300/100 or higher, and some add an umbrella policy for liability beyond that. The right level depends on what you'd need to protect — exactly the kind of scenario Sage AI can walk through, and a licensed agent can confirm.
