What happens if you don't have bodily injury liability in New Hampshire?

I know it's not required in this state, but what happens if I don't get it? Will it be dangerous not to have it?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Not having
bodily injury liability
 as part of a
liability insurance
 policy means you will be responsible for paying for medical care for the other injured party in an accident in which you’re at fault.
The average medical claim in an accident is 15k and in some cases could be much higher. Not having liability protection could force you to pay high out of pocket costs in the event of an accident.”

What do I do if I get into an at-fault accident in New Hampshire?
I don't have bodily injury liability and was in an at-fault accident. The other driver's insurance let me know that they are injured and seeking reimbursement for medical bills. Their vehicle wasn't damaged, but mine is totaled. Am I going to be sued? Will I lose my license?

      Why can't I get gap insurance on my USAA car loan?
      I'm trying to get gap insurance on my new car loan. The dealership is saying that they can't add it because I'm going to be getting financing through USAA. Is this true? Do I need to find another bank if I want to add gap insurance?

      Do I need a non owners policy if I borrow my friend's cars?
      I borrow cars from different friends all the time. I don't have my own policy, but I think their policies may cover me. Should I get my own policy?
