The trial court dismissed her petition for failure to state a claim, concluding the driver's negligence was the sole cause. The Eastern District reversed and remanded, holding that Britton sufficiently pleaded a claim under the dangerous condition exception to sovereign immunity, and that an intervening negligent driver does not necessarily preclude a finding of proximate cause at the pleading stage.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","wrongful-death","civil-procedure","negligence"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=125678","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/judith-britton-appellant-v-city-of-st-louis-respondent-105973","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
