Can someone still sue me if I have car insurance?

Does my insurance provide any legal protection? I live in Oklahoma and I'm wondering if someone could still take me to court if I have car insurance in an accident.

“Even if you have
car insurance
, you can still be pursued for personal damages if you’re at fault in an accident in Oklahoma.
If you live in a no-fault state, which require drivers to carry
personal injury protection
, you likely won’t be sued unless the injuries are deemed severe in the legal definition of the word.
In a majority of cases, your car insurance company will pay for a lawyer if you’re sued, but it’s all dependent on the terms of your car insurance policy and the interpretation of your insurer.”
