How do they explain the trial lawyer billboards that litter every interstate and highway?

Serious question:

Where do you live where you DONT see lawyer billboards?

I was in Texas a couple weeks back driving between Austin and San Antonio and saw just as many if not more than I see in Louisiana.

I saw signs for “The Texas Law Boss,” “The Texas Hammer,” “The Texas Law Guns,” “May the 4’s be with you” (his number is 444-4444), “Injured? Get the Gorilla!” And many more I’ve forgotten.

Alabama and Mississippi have plenty as well

You’re on the right track, just asking the wrong question.

At least in other states there are more billboards for other lines of work. Louisiana is 100% every billboard is an injury attorney. Every billboard.

Bro Louisiana is overly obnoxious.

I drove I20 across Louisiana a few months back. I kept a tally of billboards. I got half way across the state and I was over 50.

Both Gordon and Bart were in the 20’s

Want to say I ended up counting 75-80. It averaged 1 billboard every 2 miles along a stretch of interstate that goes through Shreveport and BFE Louisiana

Louisiana politicians are trying to entice businesses to relocate? That’s news to me.

we just had a client end up with a 1m settlement against them. this was due to a bumper claim in december of 2017.
pretty sure Travelers settled to avoid it going into the umbrella.

St. Landry Parish

Well this is an extreme exaggeration. I know I see adult store signs and casino signs littering the billboards on I-10.

I think the people electing JBE is a pretty clear indication that this is not a business friendly state. Unfortunate because with our resources we have the opportunity to be a leader.

Other than our roads, economy, weather, crime, schools, crooked politicians, and PI lawyers and their omnipresent billboards , Louisiana is a great place to run your billion dollar business.

See a few in Denver nothing like Louisiana though. Grew up in Massachusetts and there’s almost none in the northeast.

Or trying to get a big plant to locate in St. James on the river. Sorry guys, but you have to negotiate with 3 different river boat pilot unions. And they ain’t cheap either!!!!

I drove that miserable roundtrip from Shreveport to Funroe and back one evening a few months ago. Based on my unscientific observations, 75-80 would be WAY low.

If it weren't for casino and PI lawyer billboards, there wouldn't be anything to see on that forsaken stretch of I-20.
