On appeal, Williams challenged the application of section 538.220.2, which mandated periodic payments for future medical damages at a statutory interest rate, arguing it unconstitutionally deprived her of the full award. Mercy cross-appealed on several grounds, including the amount allocated to periodic payments and the inclusion of post-judgment interest. The Missouri Supreme Court reversed the judgment regarding the unconstitutional application of the periodic payment statute and the circuit court's untimely removal of post-judgment interest, remanding for a new judgment, while affirming the judgment in all other aspects.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","personal-injury","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=135696","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/emilee-williams-appellantcross-respondent-v-mercy-clinic-springfield-comm-c96547","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: personal-injury"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
