SB1621

Missouri SB1621 establishes that no standalone cause of action exists for medical monitoring in civil actions.

Missouri SB1621 amends the state's laws to clarify that no standalone cause of action exists for medical monitoring in civil actions. It specifies that increased risk of disease, even with physiological changes, is not compensable through damages or any other form of relief. The bill also outlines conditions under which a plaintiff can seek damages for future medical surveillance, screening tests, or monitoring procedures, requiring a presently existing and diagnosable physical disease or injury caused by the defendant's tortious conduct.
