How much liability (auto) insurance should someone buy? I get that it's important and can be supplemented with an umbrella policy, but most web sites I've seen don't give a number or a method to calculate what you need, but instead say something like 'Buy a lot! If you don't have enough you'll get sued for all of your assets'.

Get a quote for a few different limits. You will likely find that there is not a huge difference between really low limits (like 15/30), more reasonable limits (50/100) and higher ones (100/300, 250/500). I go for 250/500 myself because I work in the medical field, and in this day and age settlements for even relatively minor problems frequently exceed $30,000 and often $100,000 x multiple people. Many people out there are trying to cash in on their pre-existing chronic injuries/pain. I think 250/500 will cover most people in most situations but it could depend on where you live and how much these things cost.
