MALBROUGH v. HALLIBURTON LOGGING SERVICES, INC.

No. 97 CA 0378.

710 So.2d 1149 (1998)

Terry E. MALBROUGH v. HALLIBURTON LOGGING SERVICES, INC.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit.

April 8, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mac Trelles, Jr., Baton Rouge, for Plaintiff Appellant Terry E. Malbrough.

Maurice P. Mathieu, Houma, for Defendants Appellees Richard Hogan and State Farm Fire & Cas. Co.

Charles Hanemann, Houma, for Defendant Halliburton Logging Services, Inc.

Before FOIL, WHIPPLE and KUHN, JJ.

FOIL, Judge.

At issue in this appeal is whether the Longshoreman Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) bars an employee from asserting a tort claim against a fellow employee alleging an intentionally inflicted injury. We hold that the LHWCA does not preclude an employee from asserting a cause of action based on an intentional tort, and we reverse the summary judgment entered by the trial court.
