Bare minimum liability coverage is rarely advisable but it’s better than no insurance at all, especially if you can’t afford more. The average cost of just liability insurance for most people is less than $50 per month and it also removes the worry of getting pulled over by law enforcement. If you have no savings or assets, minimum liability coverage may suffice but would not be enough to pay for serious injuries or to repair/replace a newer car. Without sufficient insurance, your future wages may be garnished to cover the damage you cause. If you are only carrying the state-required $10,000 property damage and hit a car worth $20,000, the insurance company will pay the $10,000 and you will be responsible for the remainder. Basically, you are self-insuring for anything over the insurance limits you have chosen to purchase. If you don’t want to have your wages garnished or your assets sold, seriously consider buying higher limits of liability.
