Lestelle v. ASBESTOS CLAIMS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
Citation: 999 So. 2d 764Docket: 2008-C-2775
Court: Supreme Court of Louisiana; January 29, 2009; Louisiana; State Supreme Court
Case citation: 999 So.2d 764 (2009). Parties involved include Rosemary Rosseljong Lestelle, widow of Frank Lestelle, along with his children: Frank Jr., Thomas, Gregory, Joseph, Marie, and Patricia, as plaintiffs against Asbestos Claims Management Corporation (formerly National Gypsum Company) and others. The case involves claims related to asbestos exposure, with the plaintiffs seeking damages due to the alleged wrongful death of Frank Lestelle, asserting that his death was caused by asbestos-related diseases linked to the defendants' products. The Supreme Court of Louisiana ruled on January 30, 2009, denying the appeal, which effectively upheld lower court decisions regarding the case. The document consolidates this case with other related cases, indicating broader implications for similar asbestos claims. The denial signifies that the court found no merit in the arguments presented by the plaintiffs to overturn previous rulings, leaving the lower court's decisions intact.
