Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Workers’ Compensation Commission’s finding of a forty‑eight percent loss of use of the employee’s back was not supported by substantial evidence, and remanded for a new hearing to determine the proper impairment rating and any rebuttal of the presumption of total disability.
