Doucet v. Jantzen, Inc.

I,WOODARD, Judge.

In this workers’ compensation litigation, the main issue we address is whether the workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) erred when granting an employer the right to an offset under La.R.S. 23:1225(C), after adjudicating an employee to be permanently totally disabled. Finding, instead, La.R.S. 23:1225(A) to be applicable in such circumstance, we reverse the WCJ’s decision on this issue. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
