Ment Text

Louisiana HB173 prohibits recovery for bodily injury or property damage for drivers with a lapse in coverage exceeding 30 days.

Louisiana HB173 amends the state's compulsory motor vehicle liability security law to prohibit any recovery for bodily injury or property damage for drivers with a lapse in coverage that exceeds 30 days. This provision applies regardless of other laws. The bill also retains the existing law that there is no recovery for the first $100,000 of bodily injury or property damage for injuries or damages caused by a driver who fails to maintain compulsory motor vehicle liability security.
