NH woman, children win $8.5M in lawsuit
CONCORD, N.H.—A New Hampshire woman and her two children have won $8.5 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against a trucking company.
A federal court jury in Concord concluded Thursday that Loignon Champ-Carr Inc. negligently caused the death of 38-year-old Jon Paul Lacaillade II, of Meredith.
Lacaillade was killed in 2008 when a Loignon tractor-trailer ran over and killed him while he was bicycling in Porter, Maine.
The Citizen ( http://bit.ly/s6Ljcl) reported that Lacaillade's widow, Michele Lacaillade, and their two children filed suit last year against the company, which is based in Quebec and has a U.S. presence in Cornville and Jackman, Maine.
The newspaper said attorneys for Michele Lacaillade and the trucking company could not be reached for comment.
