Louisiana bill would limit liability of Madi Gras float-builders

A bill passed by the Louisiana House to limit the liability of float-builders would damage future attempts for float riders or watchers to sue when parade festivities hurt or kill someone, says a man whose brother died in a float accident. Jonathan Compretta thinks Louisiana lawmakers want to make it too easy for companies who build the elaborate floats that carry bead-throwing riders to escape responsibility when things go wrong.
