Opinion filed April 12, 2000.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Juan Ramirez, Jr., Judge. L.T. No. 94-19553.

Lawton R. Jackson, for appellants.

James W. Jarvis and Richard L. Richards; Roy D. Wasson, for appellees.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

There is no merit in any of the defendant-appellants' claims of error and we therefore affirm on the main appeal. § 768.0425, Fla. Stat. (1999); HTP, Ltd. v. Lineas Aereas Costarricenses, S.A., 685 So.2d 1238 (Fla. 1996). On the cross-appeal, however, we conclude that the trial court erroneously denied the plaintiffs' claim to pre-judgment interest. See Argonaut Ins. Co. v. May Plumbing Co., 474 So.2d 212 (Fla. 1985); State Farm Fire Cas. v. Albert, 618 So.2d 278 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993), review denied, 629 So.2d 135 (Fla. 1993); Charles Buzbee Sons, Inc. v. Falkner, 585 So.2d 1190 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991). The cause is remanded solely for the purpose of adding that item, in the undisputed sum of $93,731.67, to the judgment under review nunc pro tunc its date, January 6, 1998.
