What limits of bodily injury and property damage liability should I carry?
Because different people have different needs, there is no standard recommended amount of liability coverage you should carry. You need to consider factors such as your personal assets, earnings, the liability limits you carry on your other insurance policies such as auto or homeowners, whom you carry as passengers, how the aircraft is used, and how much insurance you can afford or that is available, among others. Obviously, buying the most coverage you can reasonably afford and that is available is your safest bet. Also remember that as important as the limit of liability is the ability of your insurance company to resolve claims within those policy limits. You want to be sure that the company defending you has a proven track record of success in the complex world of aviation litigation. Avemco historically resolves 99% of its claims within the policy limits.
