(1977) Despite policy provision excluding coverage on accidents occurring outside Missouri, Workmen's Compensation Law applies and insurer is liable on accidents occurring outside of state where contract of employment was made in state.  Payne v. St. Louis Grain Corp. (A.), 562 S.W.2d 102.

(1986)  A choice of law provision in an employment contract may be disregarded in workers' compensation cases.  Miller v. Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc., 714 S.W.2d 652 (Mo. App.).

(1993) Where Missouri statute specifically precludes recovery for work-related injuries if injuries are exclusively covered by any federal law, injuries sustained by dredge operator were recoverable under federal Jones Act which provides for personal injury suffered by any seaman in course of his employment; therefore, any amount received by plaintiff under workers' compensation was recoverable by insurer.  Commercial Union Insurance Co. v. McKinnon, 10 F.3d 1352 (8th Cir.).
