You are required by law to carry at least the state minimum; a figure that varies state by state.
However, how much you "NEED TO" carry depends on your own personal financial situation. It's a good idea to occassionally review our coverages, assets, net worth and risk exposures can change with time.
A policy that might have seemed adequate when purchased years ago, may not offer suficient protection for todays financial exposures.
Answer
If you have financial assets that could conceivably be considered in a costly lawsuit, then you need to carry increased limits of coverage. I carry auto liability limits that are far and above what I am required by law to carry.
Even with these higher limits, I still worry about any excess. I am considering a Personal Umbrella Policywith limits up to $2,000,000
Assets to consider, ALL of which could be at risk: Home, savings, investment accounts, personal belongings, FUTURE EARNINGS (!!!!)..... some scary stuff....

A car with liability insurance only is borrowed and in an accident Car is totaled Whose insurance will cover?
When a car is borrowed (with permission) the insurance of the car owner is primary and the insurance of the driver is secondary. Here, the car owner has no coverage to pay for the damage to his/her own car, so the driver's liability insurance would cover the cost of the car. That is assuming the driver has liability insurance, if the driver doesn't have liability insurance, the car owner is stuck (unless he sues the driver).
