Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge HARRY T. EDWARDS.
HARRY T. EDWARDS, Circuit Judge:
American Motorists Insurance Co. (“AMI” or “appellant”) appeals from a judgment of the District Court, holding that, under Virginia law, a reimbursement due to AMI pursuant to a workers’ compensation lien against the appellee, Patricia Ann Felch, was subject to a set-off for reasonable legal costs and attorney’s fees. AMI also argues that the District Court erred in not finding the amount of fees to be unreasonable, and in failing to award prejudgment interest on the amount due under the lien.
