Landmoore v. Foxcroft CA6
In this action for personal injuries, a jury awarded plaintiff Dayle Landmoore damages attributable to an automobile accident caused by defendant Clarre Foxcroft. Plaintiff sought pretrial costs and prejudgment interest. The trial court granted defendant’s motion to tax costs in part, and it denied plaintiff’s request for prejudgment interest. Plaintiff appeals, contending that the court should have included all of her claimed costs, including expert witness fees, because the judgment she obtained exceeded both her pretrial offer and the amount awarded her in judicial arbitration. She further asserts error in the court’s denial of prejudgment interest. We find the rulings to be proper under Code of Civil Procedure section 1141.21 and Civil Code section 3291. Accordingly, we will affirm the judgment.
