iCourt Reverses Epple Judgement in Missouri Appeal
The Missouri Court of Appeals 2 to 1 reversed a wrongful death ruling in the Epple case, reducing damages to surviving children. The 1969 Eldon collision killed Dr O Lawrence Epple, Dr Kathryn Epple, four children, and Karen Ahsens, injuring another daughter and Miss Merri Reddick. Judge Gunn dissented, arguing the jury could find negligent truck braking, while the majority said humanitarian negligence did not apply.
