Insurance Law

Fifth Circuit reverses Broussard

By David Rossmiller

Here's a pdf of the opinion, just out. Not much time right now to blog, but for now, this excerpt at the end of the case says it all:

We REVERSE the judgment of the district court entering JMOL in favor of the Broussards. We REVERSE and VACATE the jury’s award of punitive damages. We AFFIRM the district court’s admission of testimony from the Broussards’ expert witness. We AFFIRM the district court’s denial of State Farm’s motion to change venue. We REMAND the case for a new trial.
