👑🎭 King Cake Season Has Officially Begun!

Today marks King’s Day (Twelfth Night), the start of Carnival season in Louisiana. To celebrate, we’re kicking things off the right way here in the office — with King Cake.

More than a tradition, King Cake season is a reminder of community, culture, and the shared moments that make Louisiana special. From the first slice to Mardi Gras Day, it’s a time to come together, support local bakeries, and enjoy one of our favorite traditions.

Here’s to a great Carnival season ahead — and yes, whoever finds the baby buys the next one. 😉

NEW LOUISIANA LAWS TAKING EFFECT JANUARY 1, 2026

Several important changes to Louisiana law will take effect in 2026 and may impact drivers, homeowners, contractors, and anyone involved in an accident or insurance claim.

Here are a few key updates to be aware of:

🚗 Hands-Free Driving Enforcement
Louisiana’s hands-free driving law will be fully enforced, prohibiting holding or using a phone while driving. Penalties increase in school and construction zones.

⚖️ Changes to Fault in Injury Cases
Louisiana is moving from a pure comparative fault system to a modified system. If a person is found 51% or more at fault, they may no longer be eligible to recover damages in an injury claim.

🏠 Home Fortification Tax Incentives
Homeowners who make qualifying storm-resistant upgrades—such as fortified roofing—may be eligible for expanded tax credits and deductions.

🔨 New Contractor Licensing Requirements
Certain residential roofing and construction work will now require additional state licensing, aimed at protecting homeowners, especially after storms.

📌 Laws can be complex, and how they apply depends on your specific situation. Staying informed is the first step in protecting your rights.
