| The federal trial of two attorneys over their roles in a massive staged-accident scam to defraud insurers and trucking firms renews debate over the effect of such operations on auto premiums statewide, notes an editorial in the New Orleans Times-Picayune (3/25/26). The trial follows 2025 reforms to rein in big jury payouts in fraud cases that regulators say add “billions” to the cost of auto premiums across Louisiana, reports Fox 8 (3/20/26, Crockett). Meanwhile, Kenner police will tow and impound uninsured cars in a coverage enforcement push, reports the Times-Picayune (3/21/26, Meadows).
