View this case - free  

Overview: Because the surviving spouses' DOHSA claims were maritime claims, postjudgment interest on their judgments was to be calculated pursuant to federal law under 28 U.S.C.S. § 1961; therefore, the trial court properly applied the federal postjudgment interest rate instead of the state postjudgment interest rate.
