1Opinion of the Court
GUIDRY, Judge.
The issue presented for review in this appeal is whether the trial court correctly apportioned liability for plaintiffs’ attorney fees and litigation expenses between plaintiffs and intervenors, Jobbers Oil Transport Company (hereafter JOTCO) and its worker’s compensation insurer, United States Fire Insurance Company (hereafter US Fire). We find that the trial court misapplied the formula for allocation of fees and expenses enunciated in Moody v. Arabie, 498 So.2d 1081 (La.1986). Accordingly, we amend the judgment and, in all other respects, affirm.
