Shaw Construction Co. for negligence after sustaining injuries on a construction site. The circuit court denied the defendants' motion for summary judgment, which asserted immunity under the workers' compensation exclusivity doctrine. The Missouri Supreme Court issued a permanent writ of prohibition, holding that Shaw was McArthur's statutory employer and Henderson his statutory co-employee, thus granting them immunity from suit. The Court also rejected McArthur's argument that the statutory employment defense violated his constitutional right to a trial by jury.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","appellate-procedure","negligence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=176493","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-beutler-inc-dba-george-j-shaw-construction-co-and-brian-hend-c98251","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":"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: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"},{"caseId":"mo:sc87773:undated","opinionId":"b836077f-811b-5e2b-b9d3-04d9012339c3","slug":"state-ex-rel-mw-builders-inc-relator-v-the-honorable-sandra-c-midkiff-res-c87773","caseName":"State ex rel.
