Page 3 of 8
Case 6:11-cv-00837-RFD-PJH Document 1 Filed 06/07/11 Page 3 of 8 PageID #: 3
13.
On the early afternoon of Thursday, July 29, 2010, petitioner and Stanford D. Broussard
were both traveling in an easterly direction on U.S. Highway 90 towards its intersection with
Louisiana Highway 3184. Stanford D. Broussard was driving directly behind petitioners vehicle.
14.
U.S. Highway 90 is a two-lane concrete or hard-surface roadway or highway with oncoming
travel lanes for traffic traveling East and West.
15.
At the intersection of the two roadways or highways, there is a single vehicle right exit lane
for traffic moving from U.S. Highway 90 onto Louisiana Highway 3184, with a Yield Sign
controlling traffic exiting from U.S. Highway 90 onto Louisiana Highway 3184.
16.
Petitioner properly entered this single exit lane and stopped at the Yield Sign for traffic that
was traveling in a southerly direction on Louisiana Highway 3184 in the outside lane.
17.
On Thursday, July 29, 2011 at about 2:34 p.m. and while petitioner was stopped at the Yield
Sign, Stanford D. Broussard crashed his F-150 pickup truck into the back of petitioners stopped
Honda vehicle.
18.
Both highways and the area where this rear-end collision happened are straight, straight,
level, and flat. The roadways were dry and nothing obstructed or impaired Stanford D. Broussards
vision.

Case 6:11-cv-00837-RFD-PJH Document 1 Filed 06/07/11 Page 4 of 8 PageID #: 4
Negligence
19.
This rear-end collision happened so suddenly that petitioner, who was stopped when it
happened, was unable to avoid it or prevent Stanford D. Broussard from crashing into the back of
her stopped vehicle.
20.
At the scene, Stanford D. Broussard told the investigating State Police Officer that he was
looking toward his left at the southbound traffic on Louisiana Highway 3184 as he continued driving
forward.
21.
Louisiana Revised Statutes, Title 32, Section 58 provides that Any person operating a motor
vehicle on the public roads of this state shall drive in a careful and prudent manner, so as not to
endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such a manner shall constitute
careless operation.
22.
Petitioner was operating her vehicle in a legal, careful, and prudent manner. This rear-end
collision was due solely, exclusively, and proximately to the negligence, carelessness, and fault of
the defendants driver-employee, Stanford D. Broussard, in the following nonexclusive particulars:
A. Operating his vehicle in disregard for petitioners safety;
B. Operating his vehicle in a careless manner;
C. Failing to keep a proper lookout for traffic in front of him;
D. Failing to timely see that petitioners vehicle was stopped at the Yield Sign;

E. Failing to see what he should have seen and do what he should have done under the
circumstances;
F. Violating the provisions of La. R.S. 32:58;
G. Failing to obey the laws and regulations pertinent to traffic for Lafayette Parish and
the State of Louisiana.
23.
Petitioners injuries and damages were caused by the defendants legal fault, negligence,
careless, and omission of dutyas they are vicariously liable for the fault and negligence of their
employee, agent, or servant, Stanford D. Broussardand without any legal fault, negligence,
careless, or omission of duty by petitioner or in any way contributing to this rear-end collision.
Damages
24.
Petitioner has and will continue to indefinitely suffer injuries to her cervical spine, shoulders,
and related bodily injuries, mental anguish, distress, and the loss or diminishment of enjoyment of
life. Petitioner does not know the full extent of her injuries at this time, but they have and will
continue to require medical care and treatment.
25.
Because of her injuries, petitioner is entitled to recover under the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure Articles 893 and 861 all reasonable amounts for all general and special damages, past,
present and future, and which include by example the following:
A. Physical pain, suffering, and disfigurement;

D. Medical and hospital costs;
E. Wage losses and/or the loss and/or diminishment of earning capacity.
Insurance
26.
At all times material, Ace American Insurance Company insured the defendants under a
policy of liability insurance that was in full force and effect when this rear-end collision happened
and, as such, it is jointly and solidarily liable with the other defendants to pay all of petitioners
damages.
27.
Ace American Insurance Companys policy contains no provisions or exclusions that are
applicable to this rear-end motor-vehicle collision and, as such, it is liable to pay petitioners
damages up to the full amount of its policy limits.
Prayer
Petitioner, Linda F. Bruno, prays that after due proceedings are had, the Court render
judgment in her favor and against the defendants CETCO Oilfield Services Company, Enterprise
FM Trust, and Ace American Insurance Company, for general and special damages in such amounts
as are fair and reasonable, plus legal interest thereon from date of judicial demand until paid, and
for all costs of these proceedings. Finally, petitioner prays for such further orders and relief to
which she is entitled whether at law or in equity.
