The Louisiana Commissioner of Insurance held a public conference earlier this week to address the public’s concern about the state’s high insurance rates. On Tuesday, Commissioner Tim Temple held a town hall at Fountainbleu High School in Mandeville. During this town hall, Temple admitted that the state has one of the highest insurance rates in the country, with the average resident spending 7% of their yearly income alone on car and property insurance. The average American only spends 5.3% of their income on car, property, and health insurance.
