Jerry Grove v. Freda A. Myers

1. Under W.Va. Code, 56-6-31, as amended, prejudgment interest on special or liquidated damages is recoverable as a matter
of law and must be calculated and added to those damages by the trial court rather than by the jury. 2. Under W.Va. Code, 56-6-31, as amended, prejudgment interest on special or liquidated damages is calculated from the date
on which the cause of action accrued, which in a personal injury action is, ordinarily, when the injury is inflicted.
