White v. Orr-Lyons Mills
Supreme Court of South Carolina · Decided October 24, 1985 · Harwell, Ness, Gregory, Chandler, Finney
336 S.E.2d 467; 287 S.C. 174; 1985 S.C. LEXIS 484 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

White v. Orr-Lyons Mills

Opinion

Harwell, Justice:

Appellants contend that (1) respondent failed to give notice of her injury to her employer within ninety days of its occurrence as required by S. C. Code Ann. § 42-15-20 (Law. Co-op. 1976); (2) respondent failed to file a claim with the Industrial Commission within two years after the accident as required by S. C. Code Ann. § 42-15-40 (Law. Co-op. 1976); and (3) respondent did not suffer injurious exposure to cotton dust during American Motorists Insurance Company’s extension of coverage and therefore American Motorists is not the liable carrier.

The Court of Appeals addressed these same issues in the factually similar case of Hanks v. Blair Mills, Inc., 335 S.E. (2d) 91 (S. C. App. 1985). We agree with Hanks. Accordingly, the judgment of the lower court is

Affirmed.

Ness, C. J., and Gregory, Chandler and Finney, JJ., concur.
