hln this personal injury lawsuit arising from a collision between a motorist and a horse on 1-20 in Madison Parish, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (“DOTD”) appeals a judgment finding it 50% at fault and awarding over $800,000 in damages. The motorist, Douglas Schysm, also appeals the judg ment, contending that the jury erred in not awarding damages for loss of earning capacity and for future mental and physical pain and suffering.
We reverse the judgment insofar as DOTD was found liable for any damages. In all other respects, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
