Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Kentucky

In Kentucky, the split of pre- and post-offer damages is governed by Ky. R. Civ. P. 68, which provides a 6% post-offer interest rate. The rule requires that any judgment entered after a formal offer of settlement be separated into damages accrued before the offer and those incurred after it. Pre-offer damages carry the statutory interest rate, while post-offer damages are subject to the 6% rate specified in the rule. The court applies this division automatically when the judgment exceeds the offer. The official text at the linked source sets out the precise mechanics and any exceptions.
