er It’s a complex issue. Tort laws that before 2020 or so, allowed for lawyers to keep cases with the Judge and not the jury so long as damages were under 50k. Happens to be that the wealthier Plaintiff firms were big donors to Judges. Injured plaintiffs can also sue the insurance company in a direct action claim where the jury knows exactly who is footing the bill. Juries who are typically poor and uneducated and dislike big companies. Plaintiffs’ attorneys that have doctors on standby to gin up medical treatment for slightly injured plaintiffs. Four law schools pumping out 150-200 lawyers a year in a state with very little transactional or commercial presence. A culture of “I gotta get mines”.


That is an absolutely perfect recitation of all the strong reasons why our lawmakers passed our wonderful reforms just a few short years ago, to historically lower our auto insurance premiums for the good people of Louisiana…

Oh snap…

Premiums would likely be lowered if direct action statute was done away with. And jury limit was lowered to minimal amounts.

Not much you can do to stop the sleazy LOP doctors and chiros turning a fender bender into a $25k damage model. I’m sure you’re one of the good guys, huh?

Premiums will decrease when claims payouts decrease. Which insurers have seen claim payouts decrease? Or from the other side of the coin, which claimants have seen a decrease in the amount they force out of the insurers?
