Louisiana Auto Insurance Update
Driving drunk is dangerous to you and others on the road. A DUI will cost you much, including the loss of your auto insurance. But the loss of your auto insurance may be the least of your worries. The financial toll of a conviction will play out for years to come, and in many states, that can add up to $20,000 before everything is over. Costs can include bail, fines, legal fees, increased auto insurance premiums, loss of work income, court-ordered alcohol education programs, and more.
If you get a DUI, we will do everything we can to help you manage your Louisiana auto insurance and other related issues. However, please, do not put yourself into that position. Here are some general expenses related to having a DUI on your record.
1. License suspension

“The financial impact of a DUI arrest on any one person can vary greatly depending on many factors, such as driving record, jurisdiction, blood-alcohol level, attorney fees and fines, not to mention the specific circumstances of the incident and whether there was an accident or if anyone was injured.” Craig Gullkot; Bankrate
