Scott D. Olson v. Bnsf Railway Company

Summary

The court vacated the court of appeals decision and affirmed the district court judgment for Olson. It held that BNSF waived its challenge to the verdict form by failing to object before the case was submitted to the jury, and that the exception for an unnoticed incomplete verdict did not apply. The court also rejected BNSF's challenges to the submission of additional training-related negligence theories and to Olson's counsel's rebuttal argument. No separate opinions were filed.
