Not every work injury happens in a single moment. Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, a worn-out rotator cuff, or knees damaged by years of kneeling on concrete develop slowly, often without one event to point to. Missouri law does cover these injuries. Repetitive-stress claims are harder to win than a fall from a ladder, though, and…
There is no formula that turns an injury into a dollar figure. Online calculators and “three times your medical bills” rules of thumb don’t reflect how Missouri cases are actually valued. They can also lead you to accept far less than your claim is worth, or to hold out for a number no insurer will…
Missouri does not wait for you to update your will after a divorce. As soon as your divorce is finalized, RSMo § 474.420 automatically revokes any provisions naming your former spouse. Your ex-spouse is treated as if they had died on the day the court ruled on your divorce. This sounds convenient, but it is…
Joint legal custody in Missouri does not end when a decree is signed. This means that both parents have an ongoing legal responsibility to work together on decisions regarding their child’s education, medical care and activities, for as long as the child is a minor. If one parent enrols a child in a new school…
A jury can find you responsible for 99% of the crash in Missouri, and you still collect the remaining 1%. Insurance adjusters don’t lead with that. They lead with the fault percentage assigned early, often before anyone has pulled the full police report, and they present it as if it were settled. Missouri Follows Pure…
Missouri courts will not refer a case to a jury based on hurt feelings. In order to recover for emotional distress as a separate claim, you must prove a mental injury that is diagnosable by a medical professional and severe enough to be considered medically significant. Emotional Distress Is Usually Part of a Larger Injury…
A clouded title can kill your day before it happens. It means that someone other than you may have a legal claim to your property: an old lien, a missing signature, or an heir who has not been accounted for. Until this claim is resolved, you will not have a clean title, and buyers and…
Missouri does not give home buyers a cooling-off period. Sign a purchase agreement and you are bound by it. There is no three-day window to change your mind and walk away clean. If you want out later, the contract itself will have to give you a reason. There Is No Statutory Right to Cancel Some…
Missouri courts divide custody into two separate categories. Most parents don’t realize this until they’re already in the middle of a divorce or custody proceeding – and by then, the distinction matters a great deal. Whether you share decision-making authority over your child is an entirely different question from where your child sleeps at night….
A parent who stops paying child support in Missouri doesn’t just fall behind on a bill. They fall into a legal enforcement system that can garnish their wages, seize their tax refunds, cancel their driver’s licenses, and eventually land them in jail. The courts take this seriously – and the Missouri Family Support Division (FSD)…
