Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kevin Alan Galatas, New Orleans, for Plaintiff/Appellant, Ernest D. Sharp.

Michael J. Maginnis, Timothy P. Hurley, Maginnis & Hurley, New Orleans, for Defendants/Appellees, Johnson Bros. Corporation and St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company.

Before BYRNES, LOBRANO and MURRAY, JJ.

MURRAY, Judge.

This appeal raises the issue of the res judicata effect of a settlement of a claim for benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. The trial court found that the LHWCA settlement barred plaintiff's claim for vessel negligence arising from the same accident that was the subject of the LHWCA settlement. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
