Wade v. Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc.

HERSEY, Chief Judge.

In this wrongful death action appellant prevailed in a jury trial and was awarded damages for the negligently-caused death of his minor son. On appeal he raises these issues: (1) whether medical expenses incurred by a parent for psychiatric treatment made necessary by the trauma to a parent which is caused by the death of a child are recoverable as damages; (2) whether lost wages of the parent occasioned by the same circumstances are so recoverable; and (3) whether the collateral source statute, section 627.7372(1) Florida Statutes (1983), applies to wrongful death actions.
