Proven verdicts and settlements

$894,295Verdict

On January 24, 2016 a father driving the LA-1 service road toward the I-10 ramp in Port Allen swerved onto the left shoulder to avoid a merging car and braked. The shoulder had been designed and built as asphalt but was covered in grass, clover and dirt, so the car slid about 213 feet into a guardrail that opened the side of the car. His 10-year-old son in the back seat lost his left arm above the elbow and suffered leg fractures and a shattered spleen. A jury awarded $20,000,000 and put 20 percent of the fault on the State. The cap on claims against the State produced a judgment of $894,295.45, which the trial judge wiped out and the First Circuit reinstated. The Louisiana Supreme Court denied review in April 2025.
