Proven verdicts and settlements
Alise Ardoin was a 26-year-old pediatric oncology nurse. On her day off she was driving to a Lafayette mall to buy a dress for the funeral of one of her child patients. A commercial pickup rear-ended her at roughly 40 mph and pushed her into the car ahead, whipping her head in two directions. The brain injury and the headache disorder that followed ended her nursing career.
