Send us a text

In this eye-opening episode, Brian Katz, personal injury attorney and President of the Louisiana Association for Justice (LAJ), joins David to unpack the truth about rising auto insurance premiums, so-called “tort reform,” and what’s really happening at the Capitol in Baton Rouge. With decades of experience in high-stakes litigation and legislative advocacy, Katz explains how insurance companies and lobbyists have shaped laws that disadvantage everyday Louisianans, while profits climb and premiums don’t budge.

Listeners will learn how the legal system protects citizens, why caps on damages often do more harm than good, and what the data actually says about rates and reforms. We want to cut through the spin and lay out the facts, from medical malpractice to auto accidents and loss ratios. You’ll learn what you can do to stay informed and make your voice heard.
