Description

The issue presented by this case is whether a plaintiff who is awarded punitive damages in a personal injury action is entitled to prejudgment interest on those damages. The district court ruled that prejudgment interest cannot be assessed on such an award of punitive damages. The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed. Bradley v. Guess, 797 P.2d 749 (Colo. App. 1989). Based on construction of the controlling statute, we conclude that prejudgment interest cannot be awarded on punitive damages in a personal injury action and therefore reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and direct that the judgment of the district court be affirmed.
