Legislator summary

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work injury benefits against the parish union regarding a student injured while leading a football match on a camp. The student argued he was in an employment relationship under the Work Injury Act, but the court found the camp activities were voluntary and outside the scope of employment. Consequently, the statutory definition of a work relationship was not met, and the claim was rejected.
