Hdi-Gerling America Insurance Company, as Subrogee of Eggor Enterprises, Inc., Appellant and Cross-Appellee, V…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s judgment for Carlile, holding that HDI waived any objection to the driver’s prejudicial remarks, that the failure to define “necessary traffic stop” in the negligence‑per‑se instruction was harmless, and that the denial of a new trial was not an abuse of discretion. The court explained its reasoning under the applicable standards of review and applied Alaska law on negligence, negligence per se, and waiver of objections.
