Plaintiffs had sued the defendants for negligent hiring, retention, and supervision related to an employee's tortious and criminal acts. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the motion for judgment on the pleadings was timely and properly considered without converting it to a summary judgment motion. The court further concluded that the plaintiffs failed to sufficiently plead proximate cause, as the alleged injuries were too far removed from the defendants' claimed negligence, particularly given the employee's acts were outside the scope of employment.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","negligence","civil-procedure","summary-judgment"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209179","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/anne-marie-campbell-et-al-appellants-v-baxter-international-inc-et-al-res-112259","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: employment-law","text: employee","text: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
