Broadcasting live from LABI’s Workers’ Comp Conference, Brian is joined by defense attorneys Trent Oubre and Jennifer O’Connell—chairs of LABI’s Employee Relations and Emerging Leaders Councils. They break down why Louisiana’s workers’ comp system is among the most expensive in the nation and how misaligned incentives are driving up costs. From excessive medical treatments to prolonged disability claims, they highlight the need for reform through collaboration and legislation. Jen emphasizes the importance of engaging young professionals in shaping policy, while Trent calls for smarter statutes to get injured workers back on the job. It’s about fairness, efficiency, and keeping Louisiana competitive.
