Orleans Parish

Orleans Parish has a population of over 369,000 residents and is home to the beautiful city of New Orleans. The parish was formed in 1807 and is named for the Duke of Orléans. World-famous for its opulent French and Spanish architecture, the culture-rich community of New Orleans is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. Orleans Parish contains many prestigious educational institutions, including Tulane University, Loyola University New Orleans, University of New Orleans, Xavier University of Louisiana, and Dillard University, among others. The parish is most famous for the easy-going atmosphere of the French Quarter and the exciting festivities that take place during Mardi Gras each year.

Motor vehicle crashes were responsible for nearly 69,000 injuries and over 660 deaths in Louisiana in 2013 alone. Drunk-driving is a deadly epidemic that continues to devastate families across our nation and is responsible for countless tragedies every year. In 2013, 3,200 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes in Louisiana and another 251 were killed in these senseless tragedies. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to a collision with a drunk driver, an experienced personal injury attorney can guide you through the claims process and fight in court to hold that drunk driver liable for his reckless actions.
