Vidor Walgreen Pharmacy v. Janet Fisher

Appeal from a judgment awarding money damages for personal injuries arising from a rear-end automobile collision. The judgment granted prejudgment interest. Leading Prejudgment Interest - The Sole Issue The Appellant argues that allowing prejudgment interest on the amount of damages awarded by the jury was error because Appellee's pleadings did not ask for prejudgment interest, contending that the plaintiff's pleadings were legally insufficient to permit prejudgment interest, contending, also, that the alleged failure to plead for prejudgment interest effected a waiver of any right Appellee might have to recover same. We disagree.
