Diana Crouch v. City of Kansas City, Missouri

KAREN KING MITCHELL, Judge.

Appellants, Diana and Dennis Crouch, appeal from the circuit court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Respondent, the City of Kansas City (City), on their claim for wrongful death of their mother, Dorothea Crouch. Appellants allege that Dorothea died as the result of a head injury suffered from a fall that occurred when employees of the Kansas City Fire Department were attempting to carry her up the stairs in her home. The circuit court found that the City was entitled to sovereign immunity, and it granted summary judgment in the City’s favor. We affirm.
