More details to this question:
A FL insurance agent said that I should insure for my net worth as plaintiffs attorney will do an asset search and will sue me in which case the insurance company will have no responsibility for paying any part of the claim or legal costs. Another insurance agent says that is not correct. What do I believe?

Yes. A plaintiff is not required to deal with your insurer at all. Your insurer however is still obligated to pay for your defenseand damages up to the limits of the coverage.
