The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission reversed the ALJ's award, applying a different statutory subsection. The appellate court reversed the Commission's decision, holding that the Supreme Court's interpretation in Cosby v. Treasurer of the State of Missouri required the application of section 287.220.2, not 287.220.3, because Coffer's occupational disease occurred before January 1, 2014, despite her claim being filed after that date. The case was remanded with instructions to reinstate the ALJ's award.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=154835","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lisa-coffer-claimant-appellant-v-treasurer-of-the-state-of-missouri-as-cu-d36471","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":18,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
