CRUM ROOFING AND GENERAL CONTRACTORS LLC v. OLVERA CASAS (2014)

T.C. CRUM ROOFING AND GENERAL CONTRACTORS, LLC, Appellant, v. Manuel OLVERA–CASAS, Appellee.

No. 4D12–3052.

Decided: July 30, 2014

Charles M–P George of the Law Offices of Charles M–P George, Coral Gables, and Christopher W. Wadsworth, Daniel L. Margrey and Mark C. Vazzana of Wadsworth Huott, LLP, Miami, for appellant. Mariano Garcia of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Marjorie Gadarian Graham of Marjorie Gadarian Graham, P.A., Palm Beach Gardens, for appellee.

The defendant, T.C. Crum Roofing and General Contractors, LLC, appeals a final judgment awarding damages to the plaintiff, Manuel Olvera–Casas. Finding no reversible error, we affirm as to the issues raised in the main appeal.

On cross-appeal, the plaintiff argues, and the defendant concedes, that the trial court erred in denying the plaintiff's request for post-verdict, pre-judgment interest where the plaintiff requested a final judgment on the day of the verdict and the delay in obtaining the final judgment was not attributable to the plaintiff. We accept the defendant's confession of error. We therefore reverse on the cross-appeal and remand with instructions for the trial court to award post-verdict, pre-judgment interest running from the date of the verdict. See Hyundai Motor Co. v. Ferayorni, 876 So.2d 680, 682 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004).

Affirmed on main appeal; Reversed and Remanded on cross-appeal.

PER CURIAM.

DAMOORGIAN, C.J., FORST, J., and HANZMAN, MICHAEL, Associate Judge, concur.
