24 . It appears Plaintiffs themselves recognized this at some point. In their original Motion for Entry of Judgment, Plaintiffs sought as damages the entire principal amount of the underlying-judgment of $5,830,000. In their supplemental brief, Plaintiffs modified their request to seek the remaining principal of the underlying excess verdict of $5,730,000 ($5,830,000 - $100,000). 25 . Interest = Principal x Rate x Time in years: $5,830,000 x 6.25% x (493 days/365 days). 26 . Had Nationwide wanted to reduce the amount of interest accruing on the judgment, it could have paid its $100,000 policy limits immediately after the judgment was entered and before any substantial amount of interest had accrued.
