Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Connecticut

Under Connecticut’s offer of judgment statute, a plaintiff who rejects a defendant’s pre-trial offer and later recovers a verdict that is at least 8% more favorable than the rejected offer may recover interest on the entire judgment from the date the offer was filed. This rule, codified at Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-192a, applies to offers made by the defendant before trial. The court adds the interest to the damages awarded, effectively splitting the pre- and post-offer recovery by penalizing the rejection. The statute sets out the specific calculation method, which the calculator below demonstrates. For an estimate of how this rule applies to a particular case, use the DocketMath calculator.
