Description
The issue in this appeal is whether insureds who have recovered a final judgment against their fire insurance carriers can refuse to satisfy the judgment unless the carriers pay them pre-judgment and post-judgment interest in addition to the amount of the judgment. This issue was submitted to the trial court in a separate action for declaratory judgment and was decided in favor of the insureds. We hold that the plaintiff insureds could properly require the insurer-defendants to pay post-judgment interest from the date of the verdict but that the plaintiffs could not refuse to satisfy the judgment merely because the insurers did not tender pre-judgment interest.
