The trial court granted the City's motion for a directed verdict, finding Pinnell failed to make a submissible case for waiver of sovereign immunity. The appellate court reversed and remanded, concluding that Pinnell presented substantial evidence that the City's property was in a dangerous condition, thus precluding a directed verdict.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","personal-injury","negligence","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=140198","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jeffery-pinnell-appellant-v-city-of-union-missouri-respondent-106881","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"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"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"slip-and-fall","label":"Slip and Fall","href":"/practice-areas/slip-and-fall","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: dangerous condition"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/slip-and-fall"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
