By law, Louisiana licensed drivers are required to hold an automobile insurance policy which covers against loss in the event of an automobile accident. The minimum amount of liability insurance coverage for residents of Louisiana is as follows:
Ten thousand dollars because of death or bodily injury of one person in any one automobile accident.
Twenty thousand dollars because of death or bodily injury of two or more persons in any one automobile accident.
Ten thousand dollars because of the destruction of property to others in an automobile accident.
You must keep your insurance card in your vehicle at all times. As required by Louisiana State law, you must show documented proof of Financial Responsibility at the request of a law enforcement officer, when registering or renewing the registration for a vehicle and before receiving a drivers license or the renewal of a drivers license.
Failure to comply with Louisiana’s Financial Responsibility could lead to the impoundment of your vehicle and suspension of your driver’s license.
