Description
{1} In this case, we consider the extent of coverage afforded a vehicle covered under the "newly acquired car" provision of an automobile insurance policy. We also address questions concerning double costs, pre-judgment interest, attorney fees, and the rate of post-judgment interest imposed in this case. As to the coverage question, we conclude that under the circumstances of this case, the policy provided additional uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on the newly acquired car and that the coverage could be stacked. Therefore, we affirm on this issue. We further conclude that the trial court did not err in awarding costs; nor did it err in declining to award pre-judgment interest and attorney fees. Finally, we determine that the appropriate rate of post-judgment interest is 8.75%. We thus affirm in part and reverse in part on these issues.
