About LATIFPA

The Louisiana Automobile Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (LATIFPA) is a state board governed by an 11-member Board of Directors, established within the Louisiana Department of Insurance pursuant to La. R.S. 22:2132, et seq. The purpose of LATIFPA is to combat motor vehicle theft, insurance fraud and other criminal acts.

There are two kinds of fraud – ‘hard’ and ‘soft.’ Hard fraud is a dedicated criminal effort to defraud insurance companies by staging accidents, committing crimes such as arson, or otherwise planning to intentionally commit a crime. While it is definitely out there, this kind of fraud is surprisingly rare when you compare it to ‘soft’ fraud, such as claiming a little more damage on an accident report. Many Louisiana residents aren’t aware that insurance fraud – especially soft fraud – is a crime. Many more think it is “victimless.” No matter what you might think, insurance fraud in all its forms hurts Louisiana as a whole.

LDI Conference 2020

The LDI held its first multi-topic event at the Crowne Plaza Baton Rouge Hotel on March 4-5, 2020.

The event combined the Louisiana Health Care and the LATIFPA conferences, and added property and casualty insurance topics, to facilitate both the exchange of ideas and interaction with colleagues and presenters. Attendees heard from local and national experts on health care, property & casualty and insurance fraud topics and had the opportunity to participate in 20 breakout sessions.
