Summary

The Court affirmed the wrongful-death judgment because defendants failed to preserve their challenges to the exclusion of expert testimony and the participation of separate counsel. It also held that substantial evidence supported the careful-lookout instruction and sufficient evidence supported aggravating-circumstances damages against both the truck driver and his employer. No separate opinions were filed.
