Louisiana Auto Insurance

auto accidentLouisiana, like most states, has specific regulations about insurance coverage. This helps to ensure that everyone on the road is covered to some extent in the event of a collision. In Louisiana, it is necessary to show proof of insurance during most driver's license and registration transactions. Louisiana vehicles are required to have liability insurance, and the amount required is dependent upon the weight of the vehicle. If the vehicle is 20,000 pounds or less, you are required to carry $10,000/$20,000 of bodily injury coverage and $10,000 property damage coverage. If the vehicle is 20,001-50,000 pounds, you can carry either $25,000/$50,000 bodily injury coverage plus $25,000 property damage coverage, or a single combined limit of at least $75,000. If the vehicle is 50,001 pounds or more, you can either have $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury coverage plus $25,000 property damage coverage, or a combined single limit of $300,000.
