Supreme Court of North Carolina April 1, 1980, 42 (Andrews v. Nu-Woods, Inc.)

*725

BROCK, Justice.

The sole question presented by this appeal is the amount of compensation to which plaintiffs are entitled as a result of the death of Dolf Otis Andrews, caused by an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment with defendant Nu-Woods, Inc. Defendants argue, relying on N.C.G.S. 97-38, that plaintiffs’ weekly recovery be limited to a maximum of $80.
