Missouri SB1180 modifies provisions relating to civil procedure. It updates the collateral source rule, allowing payments from defendants or their insurers to be deducted from a plaintiff's claims for special damages. The bill also addresses interstate depositions and discovery, requiring foreign subpoenas to be issued by Missouri courts. It changes fault determinations, stating that if a defendant bears more than 50% of the fault, they are jointly and severally liable.
