Louisiana HB954 creates a mandatory right of appraisal for policyholders to resolve disputes over claim valuations through an independent appraisal process. The process involves two independent appraisers, one chosen by the insurer and one by the policyholder, and a neutral umpire to resolve disputes. This law applies to all automotive insurance policies in Louisiana and follows the processes outlined in R.S. 22:1807.13 and R.S. 22:1807.19.
