Will Louisiana auto insurance rates ever go down?
Louisiana Illuminator reports.
That legislation gives insurance companies an edge against accident victims in lawsuits. The tort reform, presented in May as House Bill 57 by House Speaker Clay Schexnayder, was signed into law July 13 as the Civil Justice Reform Act of 2020. The legislation received backing from mostly Republicans, as well as the insurance industry and the state’s largest lobby group, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry. It was opposed only by Democrats.
The act is designed to lower the amount of money insurance companies are paying to accident victims through Louisiana court judgments. Those savings, as argued by insurance lobbyists and the politicians who backed the legislation, will then trickle down to policyholders by way of reduced auto insurance rates.
