Johnson v. Kromhout

OPINION

SCHUMACHER, Judge.

Kathryn Johnson won a wrongful death negligence verdict against respondents Lukfin Medical Laboratories (Lufkin) in August 1988. The trial court ordered judgment entered in the amount of $290,643.48, which included prejudgment interest of $38,321.48. Lufkin objected to the amount of prejudgment interest, and the trial court, after hearing the arguments of the parties, reduced the amount of prejudgment interest to $3,428.21. Kathryn Johnson appeals, contending the trial court erred in its computation of the amount of prejudgment interest. We reverse.
