153156P.pdf   08/25/2016  Jeffrey Lockhart  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3156
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Tort Claims Act. The district court did not err in 
   finding that while the government was 100% responsible for the collision 
   at issue it was only 20% liable for plaintiff's injury given the advanced 
   arthritic condition of plaintiff's shoulder; the district court did not 
   err in concluding that, under Missouri law, it could find 80% of the 
   damages attributable to an unrelated pre-existing condition and 20% of the 
   damages attributable to the aggravation caused by the collision.
