If your insurance policy is insufficient to pay the damages you've caused to the other person(s), then you will have to pay the difference.

Your liability is the total amount of the other parties' losses (including property damage. past and future medical bills, lost income, pain & suffering, etc.) minus the amount your insurance pays for. Hopefully your insurer will be able to negotiate a settlement within your policy limits.
