Louisiana Court of Appeal July 29, 2003, No. 03-CA-0120 (Gravley v. State Farm Insurance Co.)

19S0L GOTHARD, Judge.

In this wrongful death action, defendant, State of Louisiana, Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), appeals a decision by the trial court that found it 50% liable for damages sustained in the automobile accident, which were set at $850,000. For reasons that follow, we reverse the finding that DOTD is liable for this accident.
