Louisiana Law requires motorist to carry liability coverage on any automobile they own. This coverage pays for property damages or personal injury for which you may be legally responsible, up to your policy's dollar limits. Louisiana state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability limits of $15,000 per injured person up to a total of $30,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $25,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 15/30/25 coverage.
Bodily Injury Liability: $15,000/$30,000 Limit
