Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Missouri

In Missouri, prejudgment interest on a pre-offer damages award is set by Mo. Sup. Ct. R. 77.04 at a fixed rate of 9% per year. This rule applies when a party makes or rejects a settlement offer, and the final judgment exceeds or falls below that offer. The 9% rate is calculated on the pre-offer damages from the date the cause of action accrued. For post-offer damages, the rule provides a different calculation method, with specific factors and exceptions outlined in the official source. The worked example below demonstrates how the 9% figure applies in a typical scenario. To estimate your own potential split, use the DocketMath calculator with your case details.
