Case Details
Lawsuit arose from a minor impact, low speed, rear-end collision between two commercial vehicles. Plaintiff alleged back pain and sought punitive damages. Primary insurer settled for $990,000 ($900,000 punitive, $90,000 compensatory). Excess insurer was later named.
Additional Notes
Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal granted writ, reversing denial of partial summary judgment, holding excess insurer entitled to full $1,000,000 underlying limits credit in compensatory damages before excess policy applies.
