South Carolina Supreme Court Approves Workers’ Comp for Kickball Injury

Thursday, August 28th, 2014 Workers' Compensation

A South Carolina man who shattered two leg bones during a company kickball game is entitled to workers’ compensation benefits because he was required to attend the event as part of his job, the state’s Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday. Stephen Whigham, who worked for a marketing and public relations firm, had attended meetings with managers who discussed the importance of team-building events, the court ruling said.
