Lafourche Parish

Located in the southeast region of Louisiana, Lafourche Parish has a population of roughly 97,000 residents and has its parish seat in Thibodeaux. The parish was founded in 1807 and is named after Bayou Lafourche, which itself is named for the French word meaning “the fork.” Bayou Lafourche earned its namesake due to the water body forking into two waterways that both flow through the parish and run into the Gulf of Mexico. Lafourche Parish is one of the largest-sized parishes in the state, totaling 1,472 square miles. Filled with marshy swampland and packed to the brim with wildlife, in both land and water, Lafourche Parish has become a hotspot in the state for avid fishermen and gamesmen.

Motor vehicle accidents are responsible for hundreds of deaths each year in Louisiana. Over 660 people were killed in car crashes in 2013 and over 68,000 more were injured. A car accident does not have to be deadly for it to produce devastating consequences that produce lifelong adverse effects on both the victims and their families. With five major highways traversing Lafourche Parish, these cold statistics are brought convincingly to life. If you or a loved one was injured as a result of a car accident, you should consult an experienced personal injury attorney who can help protect your rights.
