Claim Types
Outcome
The appellate court granted the writ and reversed the trial court's denial of defendants' peremptory exceptions. The plaintiffs' bystander claims under Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315.6 were dismissed with prejudice because they failed to allege facts satisfying the temporal proximity requirement—they arrived at the scene after the tortious acts and Mr. Poydras's disappearance and witnessed only search and rescue efforts rather than the injury-causing event itself.
