The likelihood that a legally liable insured will be sued for alleged injuries or damage to a
third party. This factor is determined, in part, by the size of the insured's savings account
and stock portfolio, the extent of the real estate holdings, the family income, his or her
profile in the community, and future income. Those who have a high suability factor
almost always need a personal umbrella policy with at least a $2 million limit.
