I was involved in a car accident and am being sued. My insurance covers 100k/300k bodily injury. There were three people in the car, all of whom want to sue. I'm worried it might exceed the insurance limit. My father, who is the insurance policy holder, is also being sued.

Also, if my grandparents' house is under my name and something happens to them, can they go after that?
