LA: Tort Reform on the Agenda

One of the places to watch regarding tort reform right now is Louisiana.  A new legislative session started Monday, and several reforms almost, but not quite, passed at the end of the last session.  Many of the proposals are aimed at automobile accidents; Louisiana has the second-highest automobile insurance rates in the nation.  Whether those high rates are attributable to tort law or other factors is a subject of dispute.  Insurance Journal has the story.
