The minimum liability coverage in Louisiana is a 15/30 policy ($15,000 per person, up to a maximum of $30,000 per accident). This may sound like a lot of money, but it doesn’t go very far if you have substantial hospital bills, if you will need surgery, if you are disabled from work for many months or if several victims must share the money.
This is where your uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) kicks in:

• If the other driver has no auto insurance, your UM/UIM covers you.

• If your damages exceed the other driver’s coverage, your UM/UIM covers you.

• If you were the victim of a hit and run accident, your UM/UIM covers you.
