Missouri Appeal Upholds RUA Immunity for Public Land

Featured: Jennifer Woulfe

Appellate lawyer Jennifer “Jenny” Woulfe secured a Missouri appellate court affirmance of summary judgment for a public landowner in a premises liability and negligence case, with the court confirming Recreational Use Act (RUA) immunity. Galloway’s representation protected our client from further litigation on those claims and underscores our strength in appellate litigation and government entity defense.

Recreational Use Act Appellate Victory in Missouri

The appeal resulted from claims arising out of an incident on public recreational property, where the Plaintiff alleged negligence and premises liability. The trial court originally granted summary judgment based on RUA immunity, and the appellate court affirmed, concluding the undisputed facts established immunity and the opposing party failed to present evidence creating a genuine issue of material fact to trigger an exception.

With significant experience in appellate defense and premises liability, Woulfe and the Galloway team in St. Louis focused on the statutory protections for landowners who open property for free public use and their disciplined approach preserved the trial court’s favorable ruling.
