Sue Pansegrau v. National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., Cross-Appellee

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

In this Texas workers’ compensation appeal, National Union Fire Insurance Company (“National Union”) seeks to have a judgment in favor of plaintiff Sue Pansegrau (“Pansegrau”) reversed on various grounds. Pansegrau, for her part, cross-appeals the decision of the district court to reduce the amount of her judgment.

It does, however, show that the district court’s decision to reduce Panse-grau’s benefits was erroneous and should be reversed.
