Claiborne Parish

Sharing its northern border with Arkansas, Claiborne Parish is located in North Louisiana and has a population of nearly 17,000 residents. The parish was formed in 1808 from part of present-day Natchitoches Parish and is named after Louisiana’s very first governor, William Charles Cole Claiborne. The parish was originally much larger, extending over 60 miles south of the Red River, before the land was broken up to create neighbor parishes, including Bienville Parish, Lincoln Parish, and Webster Parish. The parish seat and the largest city is located in Homer, which is named for the famed Greek poet and author of The Odyssey. Part of Kisatchie National Forest, Louisiana’s only national forest, is located in Claiborne Parish. Much of the history of Claiborne parish is preserved in the Herbert S. Ford Memorial Museum, located in Homer, Louisiana.

Thousands of people are injured every year in Louisiana as a result of motor vehicle collisions and hundreds of more individuals are killed. In 2013, nearly 69,000 people suffered injuries in motor vehicle accidents and 668 people were killed. The causation of these crashes can range from a distracted driver text-messaging a friend to a reckless driver under the influence of drugs of alcohol. Vehicular accidents can be tragic, life-changing events for the victims and their families, and an experienced personal injury attorney is needed to aid these families in their quest to obtain just compensation.
