Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Indiana

In Indiana, the split of pre- and post-offer damages in a civil case is governed by Indiana Trial Rule 68, which shifts costs when a party rejects a settlement offer and then fails to obtain a more favorable judgment. The rule provides a framework for allocating damages incurred before versus after the offer, with the post-offer period subject to an 8% statutory interest rate on the judgment. The precise calculation depends on the specific timing of the offer and the judgment amount. The official text at the provided source sets out the applicable factors and exceptions.
