Our non-existent Tort reform, Gordon, Stuart and the rest of the crooks and we pay for all that shite. Watch daytime TV, all it is it the couch rats looking for a free ride on our backs.

If an 'injured' plaintiff wasn't wearing a seatbelt, that can't even be brought up in court.

I’ve been around these dirt bags who feel like a fender bender made their backs and necks destroyed. They are scum of the earth.

Gordon and the likes are enablers. I want a governor who will push tort reform like GWB did in Texas. We all know how Texas is doing. Even with all the illegals driving around without insurance.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

Get in your Reps and Senator's ears.

I never regret living in a state where I am absolved of having to prove my case just to be heard.

Who do you think is going to set the hurdle height for these cases?

Why are rates so high?

Somebody has to pay for Didley and Debossier to be the official injury attorneys of the LHSAA.

Preach... Its what keeps companies like Aimca, Nationwide and others out of La.. If it were to happen we'd have a dozen or more options further driving down the prices.

I'd rather give it the whip to the insurance companies, at least they can be regulated, no one can control Gordon, Morris and the other thieves.

My wife tapped a F250 at about 3 mph in her Accord a few months ago. The hitch barely put a scratch on her plastic bumper. The toothless frick called an ambulance screaming about his back.

Yep. Zero dollars in damages claimed on either vehicle but he has a medical claim. He should be laughed out of court but I'm sure he got several k.

I had a similar situation. I barely ran into the back of a lady at College and Perkins. We almost didn't even call the cops but her husband told her to over the phone. A month later, I find out I'm getting dropped by State Farm because she sued for medical issues. It's absolutely sickening how these f'n parasites look at an accident as a profit producing event. I was talking to a piece of shite once that was bragging about how he was riding with his 'baby mama' and they got in an accident. He sued the person they hit AND his girlfriend, and she was cool with it. That shows exactly how much both of those people were pieces of crap.

Still makes me mad thinking about that.

You're bitching about paying the highest rates and saying the person fricking your eyes out can be regulated?

Jesus Christ.

Buying commercial auto in Louisiana has become next to impossible because of all the fricking attorneys.

Louisiana badly needs tort reform and the Texas version is a good model to study for that.

There's no need to do anything but lower the jury trial limit to $10,000 or lower. Juries won't put up with stupid claims like the judges whose campaigns are paid for by plaintiff's lawyers.

That's a tremendous decrease. I thought moving to Houston allowed me to save a bunch on car insurance but that's really good. Congrats to him

I hadn’t had an accident in over 10 years. Moved to Baton Rouge and within 5 months some kid cuts in front of me at rush hour on Siegen, immediately slams on his brakes, and I hit him. Kids driving a brand new car, Kids dad shows up jumping curbs like billy badass in his ‘17 f250 platinum with a du sticker in the window and they walk around examining damage, never speak to me. The kid was fine. That day they contacted my insurance filing a medical claim. I hate Baton Rouge and all you motherfrickers in it. I drove an hour everyday in NYC for a year and would gladly trade that for traversing this hell hole at pretty much any time between 8am and 10pm.

I love how the pissed off people are the at-fault drivers.

Stop rear ending other drivers
