689 S.E.2d 615

Frantz PIERRE, Appellant, v. SEASIDE FARMS, INC., Employer, and American Home Assurance Insurance Co. c/o AIG, Carrier, Respondents.

Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided February 16, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ilene Stacey King, of Turnipseed & Associates, of Columbia; Shaundra F. Young and James Hadstate, both of North Charleston; and Andrew H. Turner, of Southern Poverty Law Center, of Montgomery, AL, for Appellant.

Stephen L. Brown, Catherine H. Chase, and Lee Louis Gremillion, IV, all of Young Clement Rivers, of Charleston, for Respondents.

Justice BEATTY:

The South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission denied Frantz Pierre's claim for benefits for an injury he sustained while employed as a migrant worker with Seaside Farms, Inc. Pierre fractured his right ankle when he fell on a wet sidewalk at housing supplied by his employer. The circuit court affirmed, and Pierre appeals. We reverse and remand, finding Pierre's injury is compensable under South Carolina's workers' compensation law.
