Aaron Stock Missouri Cases

Aaron Stock, a firefighter, sought duty-related disability benefits from the City of Richmond Heights' Retirement Fund for a wrist injury. The Fund's Board determined his disability was not duty-related, awarding a lower pension. Stock appealed the Board's decision to the circuit court, which affirmed. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the Board's decision to credit certain expert medical opinions over others was supported by competent and substantial evidence, and that Stock waived any objection to the experts' qualifications by not raising it at the administrative hearing.
