Lafayette Parish

Rich in Cajun culture and located west of the state capital of Baton Rouge, Lafayette Parish is home to over 225,000 residents and is named after famed French military officer Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de la Fayette. Lafayette Parish is one of the smallest parishes in all of Louisiana, measuring only 270 square miles, but is the fourth most-populated in the entire state. The parish seat is located in the city of Lafayette, which has a population of over 120,000 residents and houses the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, which enrolls over 16,000 students a year. Part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, which stretches over 20,000 acres across Louisiana, is located in Lafayette.

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 over 3,200 injuries and 251 deaths in 2013.
