Full text
In the trial of any action to recover damages for personal injury, death, or property damages sustained by any party, in which action it is alleged that an owner, agent, shipper, transporter, or carrier of material transported by carrier acted in violation or failed to act in accordance with any provision of any state or federal transportation statute or regulation, such violation or alleged violation of any state or federal transportation statute or regulation shall not be prima facie evidence of negligence or fault. The comparative fault laws of Louisiana shall apply in these cases as in all other cases of negligence.
