Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 27, 2021
Kayla Hurley, Appellant, v. Karen Burton, Respondent.
Kayla Hurley appealed a jury verdict of $15,000 in damages from Karen Burton following a motor vehicle accident, arguing the trial court made several errors during the proceedings. Hurley claimed the trial court abused its discretion by denying a mistrial, refusing curative instructions, excluding rebuttal evidence, allowing certain medical treatment evidence, and excluding a prior abandoned pleading for impeachment. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no abuse of discretion in any of the challenged rulings.
