Injuries We See in Lincoln Parish
Lincoln Parish is crossed by Interstate 20 and US 167, two of the busiest routes in North Louisiana. Two universities, Louisiana Tech in Ruston and Grambling State, bring students, game-day traffic and pedestrians. Timber, manufacturing and trucking jobs lead to many workers' compensation claims.
Lincoln Parish is in Louisiana's Third Judicial District, so injury lawsuits are generally filed at the Lincoln Parish Courthouse in Ruston, a few minutes from our office on West Alabama Avenue. Learn more about our Ruston personal injury practice.
Cases We Handle for Lincoln Parish Clients
- Car accidents: rear-end, T-bone, head-on, sideswipe and hit-and-run crashes.

- Wrongful death: claims for families who lost someone because of another person's negligence.
Louisiana Rules That Affect Your Claim
- Two-year deadline. For most injuries on or after July 1, 2024, you have two years to file a lawsuit. Injuries before that date still have the old one-year deadline.
- 51% fault bar. For accidents on or after January 1, 2026, if you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Below that, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.
- No Pay, No Play. Uninsured drivers generally cannot recover the first $100,000 of injury damages or $100,000 of property damage, with some exceptions. See how No Pay, No Play works.
- Work injuries. Report a job injury to your employer within 30 days.
What to Do After an Accident
- Call 911 and get a police report, even for a crash that seems minor.
- See a doctor within a day or two. Neck, back and head injuries often show up later.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the scene and your injuries, and get witness names and numbers.
- Don't give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before talking to a lawyer.
- Call us. The consultation is free. Read our full after-a-crash checklist.
