Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 22, 2024
Jason Wolk, et al., Appellants, v. Grinnell Mutual Resinsurance Company, Respondent.
Jason Wolk and Jeffrey Meyer, who were injured while working, disputed with Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company over a workers' compensation subrogation lien. After a personal injury suit and a subsequent settlement agreement, Appellants sought a declaratory judgment to interpret Section 287.150.3 and their agreement. The trial court awarded Grinnell the full amount of its lien, finding no mutual mistake in the agreement. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's amended judgment, agreeing with its interpretation of the statute and declining to rescind the settlement agreement.
