Barber Brothers was reopening an I-10 exit in LaPlace after a night of asphalt work. Its supervisor was backing an F-250 against traffic along a shoulder so narrow that the truck's left front tire sat over the fog line in the live lane. Frank Cushenberry hit it at 65 mph in a box truck and left the road with a traumatic brain injury.
David Stauder Jr., a union pipefitter, was exposed to asbestos at Louisiana industrial plants including Union Carbide's facility in Taft through the 1960s and 1970s. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in his seventies and died within two months, on April 30, 2015. His two daughters tried the case against Union Carbide, the last defendant standing, and in December 2021 a New Orleans jury returned $10,354,620.31 and assigned Union Carbide 20 percent of the fault. The judgment against it came to about $6.19 million, and it survived two rounds in the Fourth Circuit and a Louisiana Supreme Court vacatur before the writ was finally denied in April 2025.
