You need to see an attorney who specializes in "no-fault" auto. If the claim against you exceeds your policy limits, you are liable for the excess. This is the reason that persons who have a job, money or assets should be sure that they have plenty of coverage for liability under their auto AND homeowner's insurance policies.
