Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1222

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
  • Wages: means average weekly wage at the time of the accident. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1021

Supplemental earnings benefits shall not be awarded or payable for probable duration of loss of wages.  However, this Section does not prohibit the parties from entering into a compromise or lump sum settlement, in accordance with the Workers’ Compensation Law.
