1Opinion of the Court
STOKER, Judge.
Thonis Fontenot filed suit against his employer and the employer’s insurer to collect worker’s compensation benefits allegedly due because of a permanent partial disability sustained on the job. Fontenot appeals an award of benefits for 100 weeks under the specific loss provisions of LSA-R.S. 23:1221(4)(p). He claims that he is entitled to partial disability benefits for 450 weeks, as provided in LSA-R.S. 23:1221(3). We find reason to modify the judgment of the trial court to award 450 weeks of compensation.
Fontenot was working as a. construction carpenter for J.A. Jones…
