VIZZI v. LAFAYETTE CITY-PARISH CONSOL. GOV.

No. 2011-C-2648.

93 So.3d 1260 (2012)

Peter D. VIZZI, M.D., a Medical Corporation v. LAFAYETTE CITY-PARISH CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

July 2, 2012.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry T. Lemmon , New Orleans, LA, Mahtook & LaFleur, LLC, Kay A. Theunissen , Lafayette, LA, for Applicant.

Frederick & Doherty, James Paul Doherty, III , Frederick Law Firm, Kevin Scott Frederick , Lafayette, LA, for Respondent.

VICTORY, J.

We granted this writ application to interpret the meaning of La. R.S. 15:304 relative to medical expenses incurred by an arrested person as a result of an injury sustained in the commission of the crime for which he was arrested. After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we reverse the judgments of the lower courts and find that the parish government is not responsible for these medical expenses.
