St. Luke's appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision, arguing there was no causal connection to her work and insufficient evidence for a permanent partial disability award. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's award, finding sufficient evidence that the injury arose out of employment and supported the disability finding.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139139","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lois-mcdowell-v-st-lukes-hospital-of-kansas-city-d82076","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation","text: workers' compensation","text: labor and industrial relations commission"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
