Ascension Parish

One of the fastest growing parishes in all of Louisiana, Ascension Parish watched its population increase from 76,000 residents in 2000 to 106,000 residents in 2010, almost a 40% increase in the span of only ten years. The parish is named in honor of the Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church, which is located in Donaldsonville, the parish seat. The largest city in the parish is Gonzales, which is the reputed “Jambalaya Capital of the World” and home to the annual Jambalaya Festival. Locals and tourists alike make it out to this festival to experience one of Louisiana’s most unique contributions to American cuisine. Ascension Parish was founded in 1807 and is located in the southeastern region of Louisiana. The parish is neighbors with St. John the Baptist Parish to the east and Iberville Parish to the west.

In 2013, nearly 69,000 people suffered injuries in car accidents in Louisiana and an additional 668 people were killed. The reckless act of drunk driving is an epidemic that continues to sweep the nation, leaving families devastated over such a senseless tragedy. In Louisiana, alcohol-related crashes were responsible for over 3,200 injuries and 251 deaths in 2013. A competent personal injury lawyer can guide a family through a crisis such as a fatal drunk-driving accident and can fight to hold all responsible parties liable for the damages caused.
