Thomas argued his prior right knee disability was a compensable injury, his prior knee disabilities met the 50-week threshold, and denying benefits left him without a remedy. The appellate court affirmed the Commission, holding that Thomas failed to prove his right knee injury was a compensable injury and that his \"without a remedy\" argument was unpreserved for review.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=218541","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jerry-thomas-appellant-v-collins-hermann-inc-and-state-of-missouri-second-112795","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
