MITCHELL V. BUCHEIT
559 S.W.2d 528 (1977)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the recovery or pecuniary benefits by the
surviving parents of a minor child in an action for wrongful death.
FACTS: The decedent was 19 years and 10 months old, unmarried, and living with his
parents when he was killed in an auto accident. The parents sued under wrongful death and
judgment was entered for $12,500. Ps appealed; the judgment was inadequate and was the
result of the trial court erroneously refusing to admit evidence that Ps could reasonably
have expected pecuniary benefits from their son after he reached the age of majority. The
Court of Appeals agreed with Ps but transferred the case to this court.
