Christopher Klecka v. Treasurer of Missouri as Custodian of the Second Injury Fund

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission’s decision, holding that Christopher Klecka failed to establish entitlement to permanent and total disability benefits from the Second Injury Fund because only his 2007 right‑shoulder injury qualified as a pre‑existing disability and non‑qualifying disabilities cannot be considered under section 287.220.3. The Court found the Commission’s factual findings supported by competent and substantial evidence.
