CNH appealed the judgment awarding damages, challenging the refusal of a comparative fault instruction, the admission of other incident evidence, the admission of expert testimony, and the calculation of post-judgment interest. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's rulings on the instructions and evidence, finding CNH failed to preserve its objections. However, the court reversed the award of post-judgment interest, holding it should accrue from the date of the final judgment apportioning damages, not the earlier non-final judgment.","primaryTopic":"wrongful-death","topicSlugs":["wrongful-death","civil-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=195377","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/vicky-church-sarah-austin-and-jacob-church-on-behalf-of-all-beneficiaries-d85103","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury"],"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","topic: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
