102636P.pdf   07/06/2011  Paula Kingman  v.  Dillards, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2636
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Gilman, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - torts. Damage award for injuries suffered in store accident
   affirmed as the district court did not err as a matter of law in concluding
   that even if plaintiff was predisposed for injury to her shoulder, defendant
   was still required under Missouri law to compensate her for the injuries
   she suffered when a store fixture struck her; plaintiff's husband's loss of
   consortium award for life-long nursing care is reversed as Missouri law
   does not contemplate an unlimited consortium claim of the sort awarded;
   as a result, the $1 million loss-of-consortium award is vacated, and the
   matter is remanded to the district court for further consideration.
