Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana reversed the Court of Appeal and reinstated the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the Department of Transportation and Development, holding that no genuine issue of material fact existed regarding the intersection’s safety. The Court applied a de novo review of the summary‑judgment ruling, finding the defendant’s expert testimony sufficient and the plaintiff’s expert lacking factual support.
