Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Frank Wolfe and Karen Wolfe vs. Courtnye Allyson Walker, M.D., et al.
Frank and Karen Wolfe appealed the grant of summary judgment in favor of Dr. Courtnye Allyson Walker and SSM Regional Health Services on their medical negligence claims. The trial court found the claims were barred by the two-year statute of limitations, rejecting the "continuing care" exception. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the physician-patient relationship for the initial surgery ended on March 13, 2019, and subsequent care for new complaints did not constitute continuing care to toll the statute of limitations.
