Winn v. Citgo Petroleum Corp.

ON REHEARING We have granted Citgo Petroleum Corporation’s application for rehearing for the limited purpose of clarifying the issue of legal interest. Our opinion decreed that “CNA’s obligation for settlements entered into by Citgo, INA, U.S. Fire and CIGNA is reduced from $4,964,332.66 to $1,875,000.00 plus interest from date of judicial demand until paid.” We also held that CNA’s obligation for costs of defense is subject to interest from judicial demand until paid. Mover correctly points out that the “date of judicial demand” is different for each of the originally settled *191 cases filed by the injured claimants. Therefore, we amend the prior decree and order that CNA’s obligation is subject to legal interest from the particular dates of judicial demand of each personal injury claimant’s suit. In all other respects, Citgo’s. motion for rehearing is denied.
