Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Colorado

Under Colorado’s offer-of-settlement statute, C.R.C.P. 68, the split between pre-offer and post-offer damages determines whether the offeree must pay the offeror’s litigation costs, including interest at 8%. The rule applies when a party rejects a settlement offer and the final judgment is less favorable than the offer. Pre-offer damages are those incurred before the offer’s deadline; post-offer damages accrue afterward, and the court compares the judgment’s total to the offer to decide cost-shifting. The official source at the Colorado Secretary of State’s rule page spells out the precise calculation. Use the DocketMath calculator below to estimate how this split applies to your case based on the verified 8% rate and your specific judgment figures.
