Ralph E. Chevalier, Cross-Appellee v. Reliance Insurance Company of Illinois, Cross-Appellant
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided February 27, 1992No. 91-4184PublishedCited by 28 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
In this diversity case Ralph Chevalier urges that a jury’s award of damages for personal injury was inadequate and was reduced by improper credits of sums paid by insurers. Finally, Chevalier contends that the district court erred in not awarding attorneys’ and expert witness fees under Louisiana law. Reliance Insurance of Illinois cross-appeals arguing that Reliance’s policy did not insure Chevalier.
We find no merit in any of these contentions and affirm.
