Avoid the No-Pay, No Play Penalty

Make Sure You Meet Louisiana’s Insurance Requirements

For more than 20 years, states across the country have enacted the No Pay, No Play auto insurance laws in an effort to lower the insurance premiums for everyone. With one of the highest insurance rates in the country, Louisiana is no exception to the trend. However, Louisiana’s No Pay, No Play law is unique because it prevents an uninsured motorist from receiving a settlement from another person’s insurance company.

According to the Louisiana Department of Motor Vehicles, if you are in a car accident and are uninsured, you will not be able to collect:

• The first $25,000 of a property damage claim, or
• The first $15,000 of a bodily injury claim.

There are a few exceptions, such as:

• If your car is parked legally
• If the other driver was driving while intoxicated
• If the other driver was in the commission of a felony at the time of the accident
• If the passenger is not one of the owners of the uninsured vehicle

Talk to an experienced insurance broker at The Nowell Agency and avoid the No Pay, No Play penalty. We can get you the coverage you need to drive legally and be rightfully compensated if injured in a car accident.

Minimum Car Insurance Requirements

Louisiana law requires that all drivers have liability coverage which pays for damages or injuries you may be responsible for in a car accident. The minimum amount of liability coverage required in Louisiana is:

• $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person
• $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident
• $25,000 of property damage coverage

While these are the minimum limits required, you can always purchase more insurance and have greater protection. At The Nowell Agency, we can discuss the best options for your driving needs, such as:
