QUESTION
I am being sued for a car accident. If found guilty, and the award is more than the insurance coverage, can they garnish my wages?

If the plaintiff recovers more than your insurance limits, he/she can come after you directly by way of a garnishment. However, garnishments have limits, so they can't take your whole paycheck.
