Short answer: not automatically. In Louisiana, a golf cart is not treated the same way as a car under insurance law, and that gap can leave families confused right when they need answers most. A recent case in Brusly shows why this question matters so much.  I’m Chris Corzo. I spent thirteen years handling…

A truck with a company’s name on the door does not always mean the company will pay for a crash. A Louisiana court just confirmed that. When an employee is off the clock and simply driving home, the law usually treats that drive as personal, not as company business, even in a company vehicle….

Sugar cane grinding season is underway around Plaquemine, and the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office wants every driver ready for it. On September 20, deputies reminded the public that slow moving cane trucks, tractors, and other farm equipment will be sharing parish roads through the fall harvest.

If a pothole damaged your car or caused a crash, you may be able to hold the city, parish, or state responsible. But that only works if you can show they knew about the defect and had time to fix it. Louisiana law sets a real standard here, and knowing it can make all…

Four road and bridge projects are underway right now across Louisiana. If you drive through Allen Parish, Lafourche Parish, Lafayette, or the Calcasieu and Cameron area, you may already be seeing new detours or a different bridge schedule.

Yes, remarriage can affect the value of a wrongful death claim. Remarrying after losing a spouse does not take away the surviving spouse’s right to file a claim. The right to recover belongs to the people who were the victim’s beneficiaries at the time of death. However, insurance companies and defendants may use remarriage to…

For most people, settling is the better choice, but only when the offer fairly covers your full losses, including future medical care. Most Louisiana personal injury cases settle, because settlement brings certainty, speed, and lower costs.
