Crane v. Raber's Discount Tire Rack

Syllabus

After granting a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in Crane v. Raber's Discount Tire Rack, Op. No. 2018-UP-085 (S.C. Ct. App. filed Feb. 14, 2018), we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the commission for a new hearing as to whether Danny Crane is entitled to temporary total disability benefits, permanent impairment, or future medical care. The commissioner who initially heard Crane's case found he was not credible. It was improper for the commissioner to deny Crane's claims for hearing loss based on credibility without explaining any basis on which the credibility finding could justify ignoring objective medical evidence.
