Missouri Supreme Court ruled to dismiss case against MoDOT supervisors for the fatal 2021 work zone crash, allowing MoDOT's argument that workers' compensation law protects them from liability for unmarried, childless employees. The case against MoDOT itself continues, with the organization citing a clause in the law that states if an employee is unmarried and has no children under 18, the employer may not be liable for the employee's death.
