Myers appealed a judgment in favor of Marlayna Kenney and Jayden Morgan on their wrongful death and personal injury claims, which arose from a motor vehicle accident. Myers argued that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting evidence related to her liability, as she had admitted fault for the accident. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that Myers' admission was not a clear and unequivocal admission of all specific allegations of negligence, and even with such an admission, plaintiffs retain the right to present relevant liability evidence. The court also found no outcome-determinative prejudice.","primaryTopic":"auto-accident","topicSlugs":["auto-accident","evidence","civil-procedure","personal-injury","wrongful-death"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=196856","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/marlayna-kenney-v-kailey-k-myers-d85014","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":"car-accidents","label":"Car Accidents","href":"/practice-areas/car-accidents","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: auto-accident"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/car-accidents"},{"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"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
