Louisiana Car Insurance (LA)

The state motto of Louisiana is:: "Union, Justice, and Confidence."

Louisiana car insurance is something you have to be careful with. Like most states in the country, the courts in Louisiana follow the Tort System, which means that someone is always found to be at fault for causing an accident. That person and/or their insurance company become responsible for paying for all damages done; there may be detail variations regarding the tort system. To better understand Louisiana car insurance, check with your state insurance regulator for regulations. For the best rates, you can always visit www.InsuranceUSA.com.



When it comes to Louisiana car insurance, the state law for Louisiana requires a minimum coverage of $10,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per injured person. It also requires up to a maximum of $20,000 per accident. The minimum state requirement for Property Damage Liability coverage is $10,000. This type of coverage is generally referred to as 10/20/10 coverage.

What happens if you don't get car insurance in Louisiana? Law enforcement officers will ask you for proof of insurance at the time of traffic stops or accidents. Insurance companies notify the department of motor vehicles of all policy cancellations, non-renewals, and new policies. If this is the case with you, the law enforcement officer will know it and it could cause you huge fines or worse.

Failure to maintain proper insurance could lead to the suspension of your vehicle registration and/or driver license. This can be expensive to the vehicle owner. Be sure that you follow the Louisiana car insurance laws!

Although Louisiana car insurance does not require a minimum Personal Injury Protection (PIP), there are advantages to having this type of coverage. For example, if you ever have an accident, PIP will pay for your and your passengers' medical expenses.

Another type of optional coverage you can consider getting is Uninsured/ Underinsured Motorist Coverage. This coverage will help pay for any injury resulting from an accident caused by an uninsured driver. You can choose to purchase this added protection, although state law for Louisiana car insurance does not require it.

Louisiana car insurance is really not that complicated. While many residents in The Pelican State will get their insurance in the traditional way, make sure you compare Louisiana car insurance rates from multiple car insurance companies to get the best rate. You can call each car insurance company directly or you can shop for auto insurance online.
