MoDOT claims unborn baby killed in crash as an employee
Kaitlyn Anderson was nearly six months pregnant and an employee for the Missouri Department of Transportation when a vehicle struck and killed her at a worksite.MoDOT has attempted to claim Anderson's unborn child, Jaxx, as an employee, which would make the case a worker's compensation issue rather than a wrongful death suit.
Anderson's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit. However, in court filings MoDOT claims Jaxx was their employee, according to reporting by KMOV-TV.
A Missouri Supreme Court trial is set for March.
