1Opinion of the Court
Sanders, Chief Judge.
Respondent Danny Lee Flynn obtained judgment against appellant Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company for its failure to pay a claim on a wrecker destroyed by fire. Nationwide’s defense at trial was that Flynn intentionally burned the wrecker. After a hearing following entry of judgment, the trial judge ordered Nationwide to pay attorney’s fees to Flynn and interest on judgment from the day after the loss until the claim was paid. Nationwide appeals the award of attorney’s fees and the amount of interest. We affirm.
