Description

I. INTRODUCTION Well-established case law in Missouri provides that damages should be compensatory only (1) and a plaintiff is entitled to only one satisfaction for the same injury. (2) However, the collateral source rule operates in contravention of otherwise well-accepted tort principles in that it often results in double recovery. (3) Under the collateral source rule, proving a plaintiff already received compensation from a collateral source cannot reduce the amount of damages awarded. (4) Thus, an injured plaintiff can recover twice: once from his or her own insurance provider and again from the defendant.
