Minimum Motorcycle Insurance Coverage Requirements in Louisiana

Louisiana law requires motorcyclists to carry certain minimum liability insurance limits. These limits are designed to protect others in the event of an accident.

Bodily Injury Liability Injuries to others in an accident $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident
