Bi-State Development Agency d/b/a Metro, and Cedric K. Allen Missouri Cases

Dawn Brancati sued Bi-State Development Agency d/b/a Metro and its employee Cedric K. Allen for personal injuries sustained in a bicycle-vehicle collision. A jury awarded Brancati $625,000, and the trial court limited Bi-State's liability to the statutory cap but declined to limit Allen's. On appeal, Appellants challenged the admissibility of medical bill evidence, the application of the sovereign immunity cap to the employee, the trial court's handling of discovery sanctions, and the refusal of a comparative-fault jury instruction. The appellate court affirmed the judgment in its entirety.
