1. “"In Courville v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 393 So.2d 703 (La., 1981) the La. Supreme Court held that: `... Since the initial insurance contract is limited to that six-month term, each subsequent renewal is a separate contract, even though a new policy is not involved.' At 705. "In Sentilles v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 443 So.2d 723 (La.App. 4th Cir.1983) this court, citing Courville , found that a previously executed election of U.M. coverage could not be `carried over' to new contracts `because the insured did not sign any additional selection forms applicable to the new policies.' At 727." 501 So.2d at 333 .”

2. “"The principal issue in the U.M. carrier's appeal is whether the insured's election of $10,000 of UM coverage made several years prior to the accident automatically carried over when the policy was renewed several times at higher limits of liability and no additional elections or waivers were made by the insured with respect to the amount of U.M. coverage." 501 So.2d at 332 .”
