Faron O’Quin, a volunteer firefighter, was struck and killed by a motorist at the site of a hazardous material spill. Mr. O’Quin’s widow, Mary Faye O’Quin, and their minor children filed a wrongful death and survival action against the State of Louisiana, alleging it was liable because it failed to secure the initial accident site.
