No. 91-4184.

953 F.2d 877 (1992)

Ralph E. CHEVALIER, Plaintiff-Appellant, Cross-Appellee, v. RELIANCE INSURANCE COMPANY OF ILLINOIS, Defendant-Appellee, Cross-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied February 27, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert G. Nida, Gold, Weems, Bruser, Sues & Rundell, Alexandria, La., for plaintiff-appellant-cross-appellee.

Katherine M. Loos, Jeansonne & Briney, Lafayette, La., for defendant-appellee-cross-appellant.

Before HIGGINBOTHAM and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges, McBRYDE, District Judge.

PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:

In this diversity case Ralph Chevalier urges that a jury's award of damages for personal injury was inadequate and was reduced by improper credits of sums paid by insurers. Finally, Chevalier contends that the district court erred in not awarding attorneys' and expert witness fees under Louisiana law. Reliance Insurance of Illinois cross-appeals arguing that Reliance's policy did not insure Chevalier.
