Supreme Court of Missouri

Susan F. Bridegan v. Gary L. Turntine

June 27, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the circuit court’s judgment, holding that Bridegan failed to preserve her constitutional challenge to section 303.390 because she waived her right to a jury trial, and therefore the court did not reach the merits of her claim. The Court also noted that even without the waiver, Bridegan’s failure to present evidence of noneconomic damages would have precluded a merits review.
