What are the liability limits on car insurance?

Liability limits on car insurance are divided into three sets of numbers: 1) the first number details the limit per person, 2) the second number refers to the limit per occurrence, and 3) the last number is the liability limit for property damage. Liability limits on car insurance are based on the amount of the deductibles and the specific type of optional policy coverage that is selected.
