Attorneys in Kenner & Covington, Louisiana

Motor vehicle accidents do not just happen out of nowhere. They are almost always caused by a negligent act or a series of negligent acts. Often this negligence happens because a driver has allowed himself or herself to be distracted.

Their attorneys believe that inattention is no excuse for hurting another person, and they strive to identify negligent drivers and hold them accountable for the injuries they cause.
