McCoy alleged her preexisting disabilities combined with a primary work injury rendered her permanently and totally disabled. The Commission found McCoy's expert opinions not credible or persuasive, and the appellate court affirmed, deferring to the Commission's factual and credibility determinations. The court held that McCoy's individual preexisting disabilities did not meet the statutory minimum weeks of permanent partial disability to qualify for Fund liability.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","evidence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"modified","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=201480","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/pamela-mccoy-appellant-v-meridian-medical-technology-new-hampshire-insura-111129","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: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
