American Casualty, Kelly Services workers compensation insurance carrier, alleged that compensable injury did not extend to those conditions. The appeals panel agreed with American Casualty, determining that the compensable injury did not extend to the relevant spinal conditions and that American Casualty did not waive the right to contest compensability. Motion in Limine In her second issue, Hazelip argues the trial court erred by allowing American Casualty to violate its own motion in limine. Hazelip argues that American Casualty violated these two restrictions during a portion of its cross-examination of her. As American Casualty points out, however, Hazelip did not raise any objections at the time she answered the questions that she asserts violate the restrictions.
