Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Ohio
In Ohio, the split between pre-offer and post-offer damages in a civil case is governed by Ohio Civil Rule 68, which determines how litigation costs and interest are apportioned after a settlement offer is rejected. The rule provides that if a plaintiff fails to obtain a more favorable judgment than the defendant’s offer, the plaintiff cannot recover costs incurred after the offer, and the defendant may recover those costs from the plaintiff. The precise allocation of damages and costs is calculated using the statutory interest rate, which is applied to the judgment amount. For the current verified rate, see the worked example below, which demonstrates a 1343.03% calculation. The official text of the rule is available at the Ohio Supreme Court’s Civil Procedure PDF.
