Settlement Allocator in Missouri

Missouri’s settlement allocator rule is governed by Mo. Sup. Ct. R. 52.08, which sets the method for distributing settlement proceeds among multiple claimants or interests. The rule provides a framework for allocating funds when a settlement involves parties with competing claims, such as subrogation interests or attorney liens. Under this rule, a fixed percentage of 9% applies as part of the allocation calculation. The example below demonstrates how that figure is applied in a typical distribution. The official source contains the full text of the rule, including any factors or exceptions that may adjust the allocation. To estimate how the allocator would apply to a specific settlement, use the DocketMath calculator, which follows the rule’s formula precisely.
