Jonathan R. Hendrix, of Williams Hendrix Steigner & Brink, PA, of Lexington, for Petitioner. Kirsten Leslie Barr, of Trask & Howell, LLC, of Mt. Pleasant, for Respondents.

In this workers' compensation case, we granted Sandra Bartley's petition for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the Court of Appeals, which upheld the determination that she was entitled to benefits for an injury to her neck that resulted in a thirty percent permanent disability to her back, but denied all other benefits. Bartley v. Allendale County Sch. Dist., 381 S.C. 262, 672 S.E.2d 809 (Ct. App. 2009). Bartley contends her physical injury combined with her preexisting impairments and resulted in a substantially greater disability that is compensable, citing Ellison v. Frigidaire Home Products, 371 S.C. 159, 638 S.E.2d 664 (2006), and she challenges the finding of the Court of Appeals that Ellison is inapplicable here.
