Daniels v. Union Pacific Railroad

Outcome

Appellate court partially affirmed and partially reversed trial court's dismissal. The 1997 release bars plaintiff's claims for pre-release repetitive trauma (Count II pre-1997) and the 2007 specific incident if it constitutes a known risk of injury covered by the release, but does not bar claims for post-release repetitive trauma or the acute 2007 incident if treated as a new injury.
