OPINION
EASTAUGH, Justice.
I. INTRODUCTION
A jury returned a verdict for a personal injury defendant who had made a $250 pretrial offer of judgment. This appeal concerns the post-trial awards of litigation costs and attorney's fees. Because the parties agree that it was error to award the defendant 100% of her attorney's fees under Civil Rule 68 and AS 09.30.065(a)(1), we vacate the fees award and remand. We also vacate the cost award and remand for submission of a cost bill to the clerk of court.
