$1.3 Million Louisiana Personal Injury Settlement for Fatal Car Accident Injuries

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury News

The husband of a woman who was killed in a fatal car accident on a bridge in Mansfield, Louisiana has been awarded a $1.3 million personal injury settlement. A ShreveportTimes.com story detailed how Jeremy Jason Vailes lost his wife Stephanie in 2005 when her car plunged off a White Springs Road Bridge connecting Caddo and DeSoto parishes. Stephanie, a hearing-impaired teacher, drowned after her car landed in Bayou Pierre. A DeSoto Parish civil jury ruled in favor of Mr. Vailes and struck the Caddo Parish Commission and its insurance company with the large verdict.  

The story detailed that the wooden-railed bridge in question has been the site of numerous car wrecks over the years. Another accident occurred a year after Vailes’ death and ultimately prompted officials to post more warning signs and speed up plans on building a new bridge. After beginning to hear testimony in this case exactly a week ago, the jury returned its verdict this past Saturday afternoon.
