Lee Michael Scheurer, Appellant/Cross-Respondent v. Douglas Shrewsbury as Special Administrator for the Estate of…

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a written offer of settlement does not eliminate the statutory two‑year commencement requirement for pre‑judgment interest, so interest does not begin until the action is filed. It also held that pre‑judgment interest is calculated on the judgment after collateral‑source reductions, not on the jury’s unreduced verdict. The decision affirmed the Court of Appeals on the accrual issue and reversed it on the calculation issue.
