Law v. Blue Lagoon-Pompano, Inc.green1 sentence1998In Argonaut Insurance Co. v. May Plumbing Co., 474 So.2d 212, 215 (Fla.1985), the supreme court held that “when a verdict liquidates damages on a plaintiffs out-of-pocket, pecuniary losses, plaintiff is entitled, as a matter of law, to prejudgment interest at the statutory rate from the date of that loss.” We have held that “if a verdict liquidates a claim and fixes it as of a prior date, the fact that there is an honest dispute whether there is an actual debt and, if so, the amount, does not render the claim unliquidated.” Law v. Blue Lagoon-Pompano, Inc., 470 So.2d 33, 35 (Fla. 4th DCA1985). | 1 | 1 |
