Do I need more coverage on my Spectra than what Massachusetts requires?

My mom says I need more coverage than the state minimum in Massachusetts. I am 22 and drive a 2009 Kia Spectra, and I can save $90 a month with minimum liability coverage. And no, I am not putting full coverage on the Spectra.

“Many people elect to carry the lowest-cost coverage, but not the coverage that they need. You should have

limits that are significantly higher than the minimum requirements whenever possible.
The amount of liability coverage that you carry should be enough to protect you in the event of a catastrophic accident. Whether you have significant assets or not, you do not want to be in a situation where your liability coverage limits are exhausted.
Take a few moments to compare the cost of different coverage limits with different insurance companies. You can often increase your limits without seeing too much of an impact on your premium.
Use an insurance broker like
