Governor Jeff Landry's Aggressive Tort Reform Package
Governor Jeff Landry is putting trial lawyers on notice. After decades of lawsuit abuse driving up costs for Louisiana families, he’s taking bold action to restore fairness and end the lawsuit culture in Louisiana.
Governor Landry’s blueprint to
restore fairness in the courtroom
-
Cracking down on legal advertising
Backing legislation to restrict misleading trial lawyer ads that have fueled a culture of litigation and distorted public perception. -
Ending the Housley presumption
Supporting a bill to reverse the court-made rule that automatically assumes an injury was caused by an accident, forcing lawyers to actually prove their case. -
Strengthening “No Pay, No Play” laws
Raising the damage exclusion from $15,000 to $100,000 to stop uninsured drivers from cashing in on minor injury lawsuits. -
Blocking payouts to undocumented individuals
Supporting a measure that bars illegal immigrants from benefiting from Louisiana’s insurance system, ensuring only lawful residents can file claims. -
Protecting against frivolous claims
Advocating for a law that requires legitimate medical evidence and documentation to move forward with personal injury suits.
2024 Tort Reform Wins Under Landry
In just over a year, Governor Jeff Landry signed 27 bills aimed at cracking down on lawsuit abuse and restoring integrity to Louisiana’s legal system. These conservative-driven reforms, many of which had previously been vetoed, are now law, and they lay the foundation for the stronger reforms Landry is pushing in 2025.

LITIGATION TRANSPARENCY
Laws passed requiring disclosure of third-party litigation funding, exposing hidden interests behind lawsuits and increasing accountability in the courtroom. - REFORM OF OFFERS OF JUDGEMENTA 2024 win that discourages gamesmanship by rewarding defendants when plaintiffs reject fair settlement offers, helping reduce unnecessary legal costs.
- COURTROOM EVIDENCE STANDARDSTighter evidentiary rules and more stringent requirements to support injury claims, keeping baseless cases from clogging the system.
- DIRECT ACTION LIMITSRestricting the ability to sue insurance companies directly in all but the most necessary cases, bringing Louisiana in line with conservative reforms in other southern states.
These reforms reflect a broader conservative vision: less abuse, more accountability, and a fairer legal system that serves working families, not special interests.
