The circuit court granted summary judgment for UE, concluding Albright could not provide substantial evidence that electricity caused the fire. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that UE's summary judgment motion failed to meet its initial burden under Rule 74.04 by merely reciting Albright's petition allegations and an interrogatory response, thus the burden never shifted to Albright.","primaryTopic":"summary-judgment","topicSlugs":["summary-judgment","civil-procedure","negligence","contracts","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=214924","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/stacy-a-albright-appellant-v-union-electric-company-respondent-112829","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure","text: summary judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
