Bridegan, an uninsured motorist, challenged the constitutionality of section 303.390 RSMo, which prohibits uninsured motorists from collecting noneconomic damages, arguing it violated her right to a jury trial. The circuit court rejected her constitutional argument and awarded her economic damages. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, declining to address the merits of the constitutional challenge because Bridegan failed to preserve the issue for appellate review by waiving her right to a jury trial.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","auto-accident","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=196973","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/susan-f-bridegan-appellant-v-gary-l-turntine-respondent-c99700","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":18,"source":"text","evidence":["text: uninsured","text: insurance coverage dispute signal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"},{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":17,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","fallback personal-injury route behind specific injury signal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"car-accidents","label":"Car Accidents","href":"/practice-areas/car-accidents","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: auto-accident"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/car-accidents"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
