Description
Delores Walker petitions for review of a Court of Appeals decision ordering a new trial in her wrongful death action against the State, Clallam County, and the Port of Port Angeles. The Court of Appeals agreed with Ms. Walker that a new trial was necessary because two of the trial courts jury instructions were erroneous. The court rejected her challenges to other instructions and to the trial courts evidentiary rulings, however, and refused her request to limit the new trial to the issues of contributory negligence and damages. Walker v. State, 67 Wash. App. 611, 837 P.2d 1023 (1992). In her petition for review, Ms. Walker renews those of her arguments which the Court of Appeals rejected and also contends the court erred by remanding for a retrial on all issues. Respondents on the other hand contend that the Court of Appeals erred in ordering a new trial at all. We now grant review, reverse the Court of Appeals decision granting a new trial, and reinstate the jurys verdict.
