Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 20, 2024
Amy Winget, Appellant, vs. K&S Associates, Inc., Dickinson Hussman Architects, P.C., Inside/Out Architecture, Inc., and Horner & Shifrin, Inc., Respondents.
Amy Winget appealed the dismissal of her personal injury claims against K&S Associates and Horner & Shifrin. The trial court dismissed her refiled petition, which alleged negligence in the design and construction of chemical storage facilities, on grounds including the statute of limitations and savings statute. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the one-year savings statute began to run when Winget filed her voluntary dismissal, not when the trial court entered its dismissal order, thus rendering her refiled suit time-barred.
