Unless We Win
Covington is the parish seat of St. Tammany Parish and home to the 22nd Judicial District Court — the courthouse where your injury case will be filed and tried. The St. Tammany Parish Justice Center at 701 North Columbia Street houses 12 elected judges and two commissioners. This court operates under different local rules, different jury demographics, and different adjuster relationships than the Orleans or Jefferson Parish courts south of the lake.
Lakeview Hospital in Covington is St. Tammany Parish's only Level II trauma center. If you suffered serious injuries in a crash, you were likely treated here. Branch Law coordinates with your treating physicians at Lakeview and other Northshore facilities to document your injuries and build the strongest possible case for maximum compensation.
I-12 cuts through the northern edge of Covington as the primary east-west highway across the Northshore. It carries significant truck traffic and high-speed commuter traffic, creating conditions for severe rear-end and lane-change collisions. The I-12 interchange at US-190 is a congestion point where merging traffic creates daily accident risks. LA-21 runs north-south through Covington connecting to Bogalusa and is a two-lane highway where head-on collisions occur at rural speeds. LA-25 connects Covington to Folsom with curves and limited visibility. US-190 through Covington carries local commercial traffic and intersects multiple residential neighborhoods where pedestrian and cyclist conflicts arise.
Louisiana recorded 147,073 traffic collisions statewide in 2024, with Orleans and East Baton Rouge parishes leading in volume. St. Tammany Parish, as one of Louisiana's fastest-growing parishes, sees increasing crash volumes as population and traffic density rise.
After a crash in Covington, call 911 and report the accident to the Covington Police Department for city streets or the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office for unincorporated areas. Louisiana State Police handle I-12 accidents. Seek treatment at Lakeview Hospital's emergency department or Ochsner Urgent Care in Covington. Document the scene, exchange information, and call Branch Law at 504-608-7777 before speaking with any insurance company. We offer phone consultations and will come to you on the Northshore — you do not need to drive across the Causeway to meet with us.
