The Supreme Court of the United States granted BNSF Railway Company's petition for a writ of certiorari to review our decision in Loos v. BNSF Ry. Co. , 865 F.3d 1106 (8th Cir. 2017). The Supreme Court has now reversed our judgment and remanded to this court for proceedings consistent with its opinion. BNSF Ry. Co. v. Loos , --- U.S. ----, 139 S.Ct. 893, --- L.Ed.2d ---- (2019). After further consideration, we reverse the judgment of the district court denying BNSF's request for an offset from the lost-wages award and remand that portion of the case for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion.
