The trial court had granted motions to dismiss based on official immunity and the Paul D. Coverdell Teacher Protection Act. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the petition sufficiently pleaded breaches of ministerial duties, that official immunity did not apply to medical professionals in non-emergency situations as pleaded, and that the Coverdell Act did not clearly protect the teacher based on the petition's allegations.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","negligence","wrongful-death","civil-procedure","administrative-law"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=174393","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/tierra-kemp-individually-and-as-the-surviving-mother-of-decedent-cameron-108982","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":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: wrongful-death"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
