MO HB339

Creates formal requirements for "time-limited demands" (settlement offers) in personal injury, bodily injury, or wrongful death claims, requiring they be in writing, sent via certified mail, and remain open for at least 90 days

Time-limited demands must include specific information: monetary amount requested, date and location of loss, claim number, description of injuries, parties to be released, and an unconditional release offer under section 537.060

Claimants must provide lists of healthcare providers and employers (if wage loss is claimed) along with HIPAA-compliant authorizations for insurers to obtain records

Non-compliant time-limited demands cannot be used as evidence of a "reasonable opportunity to settle" in lawsuits alleging extra-contractual damages against liability insurers

Amends section 537.065 to require insurers receive 30 days written notice and the right to intervene in lawsuits before judgment can be entered against a tort-feasor who has entered into a covenant not to execute
