Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Florida
Under Florida’s offer-of-judgment statute, the damages split between pre-offer and post-offer periods is zero percent. This means the statute does not divide damages into separate pre-offer and post-offer categories for calculation purposes. Instead, Fla. Stat. § 768.79 applies a single, unified formula to the entire judgment, comparing it to a rejected settlement offer to determine whether a penalty applies. The law sets out specific factors and exceptions governing this calculation. The worked example below demonstrates how the statute applies a single damages figure rather than splitting it. To estimate how the rule applies to a specific case, use the DocketMath calculator with the official statute as the governing authority.
