Supreme Court rules in favor of upholding DACA protections

On June 18, the Supreme Court gave relief to hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived as children in the US without documentation when it ruled against the Administration’s efforts to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). In a 5-4 decision, the Court found that the Administration’s efforts to

Fatal truck crashes buck accident trend, rising again during 2019

Roadway accidents involving large trucks in Louisiana and nationally are simply different from crashes featuring smaller passenger vehicles. That’s obvious, right?

What is going on with bill to limit accident victims’ recoveries?

Ask Louisiana State Senator Kirk Talbot (R-District 10) what exactly is driving confusion regarding a recently authored bill on so-called tort reform he is sponsoring. Many other people don’t seem to know. That legislation – Senate Bill 418, formally entitled the Omnibus Premium Reduction act of 2020 – is a

Always a Louisiana concern: roadway work zones

Some states confine their road-improvement efforts to a handful of months following an annual dose of rough winter weather. That is largely not the case with Louisiana, where highway/street work zones – some marked by significant size and complexity – routinely confront drivers across the year. Ironically, that commonality can
