Mayer, Smith & Roberts, Milton C. Roberts, Jr., Frank K. Carroll, Shreveport, for Applicant.

James D. Caldwell, Tallulah, for Respondent.


PER CURIAM.

At issue in this workers' compensation matter is whether the court of appeal erred in reversing the judgment of the Office of Workers' Compensation which held a claimant forfeited his right to workers' compensation benefits by settling claims for subsequent accidents without his employer's approval. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeal and reinstate the judgment of the Office of Workers' Compensation.
