T.C. Crum Roofing And General Contractors v. Manuel Olvera-Casas

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The defendant, T.C. Crum Roofing and General Contractors, LLC, appeals a final judgment awarding damages to the plaintiff, Manuel Olvera-Casas. Finding no reversible error, we affirm as to the issues raised in the main appeal.

On cross-appeal, the plaintiff argues, and the defendant concedes, that the trial court erred in denying the plaintiffs request for post-verdict, pre-judgment interest where the plaintiff requested a final judgment on the day of the verdict and the delay in obtaining the final judgment was not attributable to the plaintiff. We accept the defendant’s confession of error. We therefore reverse on the cross-appeal and remand with instructions for the trial *897 court to award post-verdict, pre-judgment interest running from the date of the verdict. See Hyundai Motor Co. v. Ferayorni, 876 So.2d 680, 682 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004).

Affirmed on main appeal; Reversed and, Remanded on cross-appeal.

DAMOORGIAN, C.J., FORST, J., and HANZMAN, MICHAEL, Associate Judge, concur.
