FACTS
Jimmy Thomas was driving north on Common Street in Lake Charles on August 31, 1995, in a pick up truck that was hauling a utility trailer. The trailer was loaded with pieces of plywood from a building Thomas was dismantling. Near the intersection of Esplanade Street, the load became dislodged and flew out of the trailer. A sheet of plywood from the trailer struck the van driven by Kimberly Be-noit, which was traveling south on Common Street. As a result, Kimberly Benoit sustained serious injuries, including a severely broken arm and a gash in her scalp.
