Mosier v. Oklahoma Property & Casualty Insurance Guaranty Ass'n

SUMMERS, Justice:

An injured worker received compensation benefits. He also reached a settlement with a manufacturer/defendant in a separate District Court proceeding involving the same injuries. The manufacturer’s liability insurer failed, and the worker looks to the Oklahoma Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association. The only question before us is whether the Association is entitled to setoff the workers’ compensation benefits received by the worker against its obligation to pay. We conclude that such a setoff is allowed by statute.
