1Opinion of the Court
| THIBODEAUX, Judge.
Robert Martin, an injured offshore rig worker, appeals the judgment of a state workers’ compensation court granting an exception of lack of subject matter jurisdiction filed by his employer, Combine Quality Oilfield Services, Inc., and nullifying the court’s previously issued default judgment. We find that the injured worker is precluded by La.R.S. 23:1035.2 from bringing a claim for medical or indemnity benefits under the state workers’ compensation scheme due to the | ^applicability of the Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act at 33 U.S.C. § 901 et seq.…
