On November 19, 2025, the founding partners, Andrew LeRoy and Jose Bautista, of Bautista LeRoy LLC, argued in front of the Missouri Supreme Court.
On June 5, 2023, the Jackson County trial court ruled that Mr. Railsback was not qualified to give his opinion that the standup forklift as designed without the door was unreasonably dangerous.
Plaintiff appealed arguing that the Judge made this decision on her own instead of letting a jury hear Railsback opinions and let the jury determine his credibility.
The argument in front of the Supreme Court is whether the judge abused her power, ignored Railsback's qualifications and papers; and not letting the case go to a jury.
Congratulations to Andrew LeRoy and Jose Bautista on a hard-fought effort to achieve justice for your clients!
