Blanchard v. State ex rel. Parks & Recreation Commission

liAMY, Judge.

Yvonne Blanchard filed suit against the defendants on behalf of herself and her children following the 1990 lightning-related death of her husband, Larry Blanchard. The incident occurred underneath a Cypremort Point State Park picnic pavilion which, according to the plaintiffs, was defective due to a lack of lightning protection or warning. The trial court ruled in favor of the defendants finding that the shelter was not defective and that the State owed no duty to install lightning protection. We affirm the decision of the trial court.
