Burlington objected that plaintiff, in the interrogatory and document request, sought privileged work product not subject to discovery until Burlington decides to use it at trial.

Finally, Burlington argues that it must conceal from plaintiff, at least through her deposition, whether it has videotapes and what the videotapes reveal because it might lose the impeachment value of the videotapes.

 00-1045 -- Matson v. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad -- 02/21/2001
Following discovery, BNSF moved for summary judgment, asserting that both claims were barred by FELA's three-year statute of limitations, 45 U.S.C. § 56, because Matson knew or should have known prior to May 29, 1995, that his back injury was work-related.
As further evidence of a factual dispute, Matson points to a form he completed for BNSF's medical department on May 30, 1995, on which he stated that the cause of his back injury was "unknown." Appellant's App.
According to Matson, because he was exposed to the repetitive vibrations of BNSF's locomotives his entire career, his claims did not accrue until his retirement (and therefore his last exposure to the vibrations) in 1998.
