Outcome
Louisiana appellate court granted defendants' writ and reversed the trial court's denial of their exception of prescription, holding that the workers' compensation claimant's claim for medical benefits arising from a July 13, 2022 accident was prescribed because it was filed more than one year after the accident with no medical treatment authorized. The claim was dismissed, but the matter was remanded to allow plaintiff to amend.
