The trial court granted summary judgment for the Institute, finding Payne's claims were for medical malpractice and thus time-barred by the two-year statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that Payne's claims were indeed related to health care services and therefore fell under the medical malpractice statute of limitations, despite her attempt to label them as ordinary negligence.","primaryTopic":"negligence","topicSlugs":["negligence","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","personal-injury","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=184014","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/nancy-payne-appellant-v-rehabilitation-institute-of-st-louis-llc-responde-109560","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"medical-malpractice","label":"Medical Malpractice","href":"/practice-areas/medical-malpractice","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: medical malpractice"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/medical-malpractice"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":3,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","fallback litigation route behind specific injury signal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
