You mean liability insurance? Automotive insurance varies from state to
state, depending on whether your state requires you to be insured or
not. Mandatory insurance states see much higher premiums. NH, where I
live, does not mandate auto insurance, so premiums are lower. Last time
I checked, straight liability and collision here was about $200/yr for
an accident free educated non-smoking, non-drinking white male over 35
driving a non-sportscar. Don't know the split between the liability and
collision parts.

Other legal insurance is generally rolled up in a homeowners insurance
policy, which I don't have so I can't tell you.

What you might want to do is go to Progressive Insurance's website and
enter some hypotheticals to get quotes from them and three other
competitors. Note that states like CA, MA, and other socialist
paradises have extremely high insurance rates.
