PEPPERDINE v. SOUTH LA. CONTRACTORS, INC.

No. 85-306.

486 So.2d 317 (1986)

Kenneth W. PEPPERDINE, Jr., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. SOUTH LOUISIANA CONTRACTORS, INC., Defendant-Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

April 9, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas C. Longman, Jr., of Onebane & Associates, Lafayette, for defendant-appellant.

Albright & Smith, Charles R. Albright, II and H. David Smith, Baton Rouge, and Jack P. Showers, Lafayette, for plaintiffs-appellees.

Before LABORDE and YELVERTON, JJ., and FONTENOT, J. Pro Tem.

YELVERTON, Judge.

The sole issue before us is the excessiveness of a jury award of $70,000 to Ethyl Pepperdine, for damages received in an automobile accident.

Mrs. Pepperdine and her two children, Rachel (the driver) and Kevin, were in a car that was rear-ended by a large loaded truck on March 2, 1982. All three occupants were injured. They sued the driver of the truck, the driver's employer, and the employer's insurer. Liability was not an issue.
