Jacque Lucas v. KapStone Paper & Packaging

Syllabus

Appellants Jacque Lucas, Shirley Ann Lucas, and Daniel Simerly challenge the circuit court's order dismissing this personal injury action as to Respondents, KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation and KapStone Kraft Paper Corporation, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1), SCRCP. Appellants argue the circuit court erred by concluding that Respondents were alter egos of Lucas's and Simerly's employer for purposes of the exclusivity provision of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Law, section 42-1-540 of the South Carolina Code (2015). We affirm.
