Dyna-Color/Jack Rabbit, 308 S.C. 18, 20, 416 S.E.2d 639, 640 (1992) ("Under the discovery rule, the statute would begin to run from the date [the claimant] either knew or should have known of her compensable injury."); Snell v. Columbia Gun Exchange, Inc., 276 S.C. 301, 303, 278 S.E.2d 333, 334 (1981) (holding reasonable diligence requires an injured party to act with promptness where circumstances of an injury would put a person of common knowledge and experience on notice that some claim may exist).

2. Regarding compensability: Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (holding when one issue is dispositive, the remaining issues need not be addressed).
