Baker Sterchi attorney Max Mosley was recently quoted in a Missouri Lawyers Media article discussing Proposition A, a newly enacted law addressing tort reform in Missouri. While the measure has passed, it now faces legal challenges that will be heard by the Missouri Supreme Court in March. The article explores the potential implications of the law and uncertainties surrounding its implementation.
Mosley provides insight into how the changes could affect businesses and litigants, offering perspective on the broader legal landscape of tort reform. He notes, “It’s always very important for employers to be mindful that they have the responsibility of maintaining records as efficiently as possible to be able to demonstrate that they are abiding by all legal standards as well as we think, in the best interest of their employees.” He adds, “For example, for the sick paid leave, that comes with earned time. So, the emphasis really needs to be on the employer to make sure that they’re well aware of what all employee’s hours are, as well as how those hours are contributing to their sick (leave).”
A member of Baker Sterchi’s Employment & Labor Practice Group, Mosley previously wrote about Proposition A for the Baker Sterchi Employment & Labor Law Blog in December, 2024. That article can be found here.
In addition to handling employment matters, Mosley’s practice includes personal injury, trucking, premises liability and education law. Based in the firm’s Kansas City office, he is a member of the Missouri Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division. He earned his law degree from the University of Missouri School of Law and his undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is licensed to practice in Missouri and Kansas.
