Green v. Taca International Airlinesgreen la · 1974 · cited in 3 Louisiana opinions naming this issue, 1996–2025 2 sentences 2025Airlines, 304 So. 2d 357, 359-60 (La. 1974). 1996The Supreme *385 Court in Green, 304 So.2d at 359 , described the applicable standard: The duty owed by a common carrier in Louisiana to its passengers is stringent, whether it be termed "the highest standard of care," [footnote omitted] "highest degree of vigilance, care and precaution for the safety of those it undertakes to transport," or "the strictest diligence." The Banks case cited by Hyatt involves innkeeper liability for third party criminal acts, but the Banks court did not limit the high standard of care to third party criminal acts.	2	3
