Description
¶1. This case concerns a dispute over contracts between Unity Health Plans Insurance Corporation, a health maintenance organization, and two providers of chiropractic services: Dr. Joseph Teff and Soderholm-Wilder Chiropractic Clinic. After entering a default judgment against Unity on liability, the trial court held an evidentiary hearing on damages. It awarded $449,447.81 in damages plus prejudgment interest to Teff and $234,306.85 in damages plus prejudgment interest to Soderholm-Wilder. Unity appeals, contending the trial court erred in: (1) entering a default judgment on liability, (2) construing the 1995 contract, (3) not permitting Unity to call expert witnesses, (4) not reducing lost revenues for 1997 by the amount that loss was "mitigated," (5) awarding damages for defamation, and (6) awarding prejudgment interest. We conclude that on the first five points, the trial court did not err. With respect to prejudgment interest, we conclude the court correctly awarded prejudgment interest for the damages for 1995 and for the services performed in the first month of 1997, but that it erred in awarding prejudgment interest on the damages for lost revenues for 1997 because those damages were neither liquid nor liquidable.
