WOLLMAN, Justice
(concurring in part, dissenting in part).
Although Anderson v. Lale, 88 S.D. 111, 216 N.W.2d 152 (1974), represents the law of this state insofar as the recovery for the wrongful death of a minor is concerned, I would not extend the rule of that case to wrongful death actions involving adults.
I agree with the majority opinion’s holding that for the purposes of this case the trial court did not err in adopting Dr. Brown’s total offset method of calculating appellee’s economic loss.
