Provins v. Spirit Construction Services, Inc.

Syllabus

Debra Provins, widow of James Provins, appeals the decision of the Appellate Panel of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission (the Commission) that denied her claim for death benefits finding death was not causally related to the accident on the job. She also asserts the Appellate Panel erred in (1) failing to find Spirit Construction Services, Inc., employer, and Insurance Company of the State of PA, carrier, acted in bad faith in delaying medical authorization, which was also against public policy (2) giving greater weight to one medical opinion over others and (3) failing to find permanent impairment. We affirm.
