@JLRichy Wrong. Threre are over a dozen individuals who had surgeries who were in a vehicle with no contact. There were sensors on some of these trucks.

I am glad to see justice was served today when two attorneys were found guilty for their role in the multi-million dollar staged accident ring out of New Orleans. This trial shows how systemic insurance fraud can be, involving all types of bad actors, from attorneys and medical providers to criminals willing to cause accidents on Louisiana roads. These schemes are not only dangerous—they also drive up the cost of insurance for all drivers. I am committed to working with our law enforcement partners to stop criminals like these and make Louisiana a national leader in the fight against insurance fraud.

@JeffLandry Good news, Governor. We need to double down on tort reform this session and slash these rates even further.

Thank you to State Representative @MikeBayham and @TalbotforLA for inviting me to speak to residents of Chalmette about insurance and the work being done to lower rates.
