Sorensen, M.D., and Saint Luke's Physician Specialists for wrongful death and lost chance of recovery. After a jury verdict for the defendants, the trial court granted King's motion for a new trial on remand from a prior appeal. Sorensen and Saint Luke's appealed the order granting a new trial. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, holding that the notice of appeal was untimely because an order granting a new trial is an interlocutory order that becomes final for appeal purposes when entered, and Rule 81.05(a) does not apply to delay its finality.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","wrongful-death"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=134434","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/wanda-l-king-v-george-b-sorensen-d81547","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: wrongful-death"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"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":"respondent"}]}
