Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Utah

In Utah, prejudgment interest on damages is calculated at 10% per year under Utah Code § 78B-3-203. This statute governs the pre-offer and post-offer split of damages in civil cases, setting the interest rate that accrues on the award from the date the cause of action arose. The rule applies to the portion of damages subject to interest before a formal offer of settlement is made, and separately to the amount after the offer. The statute also provides for how this interest interacts with offers of judgment. The exact calculation depends on when the cause of action accrued and when any offer was made; the official source at the link above contains the full statutory criteria.
