In LeSage v. Dirt Cheap
Cigarettes and Beer, Inc., an
unborn child was killed during
the robbery of his mother.
Mr. Farris successfully argued,
to the Missouri Supreme Court,
that the child's father should
be allowed to prove his paternity
of the unborn child, and sue
for the child's wrongful death.
In Grose v. Nissan,
a young man was paralyzed after
he flew out of the hatchback
of the car he was in during an
otherwise minor crash. After
the trial court improperly admitted
a videotape of a misleading crash
test, Mr. Farris appealed the
case to the Missouri Court of
Appeals. The Court of
Appeals agreed with Mr. Farris and
held that the trial court should
not have admitted the videotape.
A new trial was ordered.
