Assuming you have no liability insurance at all (and not just comprehensive covereage that would apply to fix your vehicle notwithstanding fault), then you may still recover from the at-fault party. i.e. the person who caused the accident, but with limitations. Louisiana has what's referred to as the "no pay/no play" statute, LRS 32:866, which forbids a motor vehicle owner who does not have Liability insurance from recovering the first ten-thousand dollars of any bodily injury or property damage claim.
