It amended Kimberly Thibodeaux's general damages to $150,000, Todd Thibodeaux's loss-of-consortium damages to $50,000, and Gabrielle Thibodeaux's loss-of-consortium damages to $25,000, and affirmed the judgment as amended. Weimer, J., dissenting, stated that the dissent was based on the judge's previous dissent in the matter.
