Paul THOMAS, Jr. v. BROWNING-FERRIS, INC.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

Rehearing Denied May 26, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert T. Jacques, Jr., Lake Charles, LA, for Plaintiff/Appellee, Paul Thomas, Jr.

Tobin J. Eason, Weiss & Eason, L.L.P., Michael D. Meyer, New Orleans, LA, for Defendant/Appellant, Browning-Ferris, Inc.

Court composed of GLENN B. GREMILLION, BILLY HOWARD EZELL, and ARTHUR J. PLANCHARD, Judges.

GREMILLION, Judge.

The defendant, Browning-Ferris, Inc. (BFI), appeals the judgment of the workers' compensation judge finding that the plaintiff, Paul Thomas, suffered a workrelated injury from which he is permanently and totally disabled. The judgment further cast BFI with penalties and attorney's fees as a result of its failure to reasonably controvert Thomas' claim. For the forgoing reasons, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
