98 S.W.3d 99 (Mo. App. 2003)
Facts: A male and female brought an action for battery against their father alleging sexual abuse.
Procedure: The trial judge rejected claims for compensatory damage because paperwork wasn't properly filed and rejected pain and suffering since there was no medical proof submitted for it.
Issue:
Holding: Yes.
Reasoning: You don't have to show proof for pain and suffering, the damages are whatever seems reasonable. Also, punitive damages should have been considered.
