Bare minimum liability protection is hardly ever recommended but it’s better than no insurance whatsoever, particularly if you can’t afford a lot more.

If you have no savings or assets, minimal liability coverage may suffice but it would not suffice to cover major injuries or to repair/replace a newer automobile. Without adequate coverage, your future wages may be garnished to cover the damages you cause.

Basically, you are self-insuring for anything over the insurance limits you have actually selected. If you don’t intend to have your salary garnished or your assets sold off, seriously consider buying higher limits of liability.
