A friend, explaining his position with respect to liability insurance, states, “I don’t feel I need the high limits of liability because I don’t make that much money. If I were a doctor or a lawyer, I would carry higher limits of liability coverage, but since I am not, the $100,000 minimum included in my homeowner’s policy is enough.” Is the friend's claim justifiable? Why or why not?
