October 15, 20242024 OK 74

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment and reinstated the jury’s verdict in a wrongful‑death and personal‑injury action against BNSF Railway. It held that the jury instructions, including Instruction No. 27, were not prejudicial error and that the proper standard of review is the statutory “probability” test. The matter was remanded for further proceedings.
