Description
Order ON MOTION FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES FILED BY APPELLEE, JOSEPH A. MENDOLERA Per Curiam. In accordance with section 768.79, Florida Statutes (1993), Joseph Mendolera, the plaintiff in the lower court, served a pretrial demand for judgment in the amount of $100,000.00, which Westfield Insurance Company refused. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Mendolera, awarding total damages of $500,000.00 and the trial court entered judgment for this amount. The court also awarded Mendolera his attorney's fees and costs because the judgment was ""at least 25 percent greater than the offer."" § 768.79(1), Fla. Stat. (1993).
