Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dollar Laird, L.L.P., by Johnny E. Dollar, Monroe, for Appellants.

Kennon, Odom & Dardenne, by John David Ziober, Baton Rouge, for Appellees.

Before STEWART, DREW & SEXTON (Pro Tempore), JJ.


SEXTON, J.

This appeal presents the recurrent question of whether an employee has his exclusive remedy in workers' compensation for an employer's alleged arbitrary refusal to pay for medical treatment recommended by the employee's physician. For the reasons stated herein, we conclude that the trial court correctly granted an exception of no cause of action in favor of the employer. The judgment of the trial court is, therefore, affirmed.
