The melt over tort reform, even in the watered down version of what was passed, has been interesting and comes almost exclusively form one group. Guess who?

Not the governor’s patrons, the plaintiff attorneys?

So, what rights are were given up? From what I understand you and your bottom feeding clients can still sue insurance companies.

Those white knights protecting everyone's "rights" (accept maybe the right to a jury, or the right to not be liable for fake medical bills).

Let me guess, this came from the Advocate...which is mostly advertised with by Injury Attorneys.

I imagine it would take a while for the recently passed reforms to have any impact.
Like every other thread... how is it that this sort of "giving up rights" works in the other 49 states but somehow it won't work in LA?

More jury duty for everyone.
Not a Single drop in rates!
This bill may not have been the answer, but the chicken littles screaming about the jury trials should explain how the entire state of Texas manages to have jury trials for almost everything—even traffic court—and the system functions and people are not in jury duty every day.

That's ok... they deserve a second set before the ambulance chasers deserve a third set...

So the Mouthpiece for the Injury Attorneys (The Advocate)puts this out, then the same day an actual news organization (WBRZ) puts this out.
You know what creates competition in the market? For companies to be able to make money. You know how insurance companies can make money? For people to stop suing the shite out of each other.

“These rate decreases are further proof that increased competition in the state’s auto insurance market is continuing to bring about savings for our policyholders,” Commissioner Jim Donelon said in a statement. “When we see rate decreases from one of our top ten companies, it usually isn’t long for the rest to follow suit.”

Because they didn't get rid of direct action and their collateral source "fix" is convoluted bullshite.

You'll have plenty time to figure out the difference while you're sitting for jury duty to hear a weeks worth of cases worth 10k.

My lawyer friend posted this. And im tried of you fricking lawyers. You are the reason shite is like this. In a wreck need a check bullshite.
Insurance rates are so high because its bread into our fricking state to just just sue because they settle half the fricking cases.
Every time you go to a lawyers office trip over a chair and sue them for $30k. this is literally how pieces of shite in our state make money.
And in that article all it says is it might not do anything for rates. Nothing concrete there other then you piece of shite lawyers.

I wonder what defendant is going to pay to jury try a $10K case unless its on a genuine liability issue? I don't see it happening. The cases that will likely see more juries are those in the $25K-$50K range and even then, it will still be a cost consideration.

I live in Texas where jury trials are for everything. I’ve been summoned one time in 7 years and the venire was dismissed after two hours.
So again, tell me why Louisiana’s judiciary will collapse due to $10k PI cases when Texas manages jury trials for $10 PI cases plus traffic tickets and everything else.

So rates are decreasing before the law even goes into effect? And they decreased last year before the law was considered..,
So what is it...need more claims experience to gauge the effect of the reform or the reform really has no/minimal impact on rates?
Also interesting you complain about The Advocate being paid for by injury attorneys as advertisers yet don’t see a similar link between TV and all the insurer commercials...

I do appreciate their honesty after the fact though!
Once the litigation has an actual effect on insurers' actual bottom lines, it will lower auto insurance rates. We didn't get to #1 overnight - we're not going to get lower overnight, either.

The number of wrecks Louisiana drivers have is right in line with the rest of the country as are the number of insurance claims to repair vehicles. But the number of claims for injuries in automobile accidents is about twice the national average, he said

Anyone else rather see the extra money going to Insurance Company execs over Gordon and Morris?

i have three 1m+ claims on-going.
2 auto
1 GL bodily injury
the 2 auto claims
- Bumper to bumper - travelers paid 1m for it to go away and they not go after excess
- side swipe - 5 vertebre and 2 lumbar. primary paid 1m, going after excess now. A frickING SIDE SWIPE
the BI claim was a kid on a vessel who hopped out of a bunk bed, fractured his ankle, and sued for the ship being unseaworthy.
if you're saying there isn't a problem with our legal system them you're just full of shite.
eta: it will take a lot more than tort reform to fix our problem. but saying the bill was pointless is just lazy bullshite from attorney and physician lobbyists.
