Tangipahoa Parish

Sharing its northern border with the state of Mississippi, Tangipahoa Parish was founded in 1869 and is named for the Acolapissa Native American Indian word for “ear of corn” or “those who gather corn.” The parish is home to over 123,000 residents and the parish seat is located in Amite City. The most famous resident to come from Tangipahoa Parish is pop music superstar Britney Spears, who was born and raised in the city of Kentwood. An annual strawberry festival is held in the city of Ponchatoula, attracting locals and tourists alike for a weekend of festivities.

Car accidents can occur at any time, at any location, and they can be caused by a variety of reasons. For example, an inattentive driver can be focusing too much attention on text messaging his friend and not enough attention on the pedestrians crossing the street. But the circumstances that lead to motor vehicle collisions are not always so clear, and it could be tough determining who exactly is liable for the accident and the resulting damages. Anyone involved in a car crash should immediately consult a skilled personal injury attorney who can assess the situation and help with the claims process.
