Opinion by
¶ 1 Plaintiff/Appellant Peggy Haddock appeals from the trial court’s order granting in part her application for litigation costs and denying her application for attorney fees. Following a jury trial, Haddock sought costs, pre-judgment interest, and attorney fees from Defendant/Appellee Woodland Park Home, Inc. (“Woodland Park”) based on Haddock’s contention that thie damages award was greater than the counteroffer of judgment she made before trial. The trial court found that Woodland Park had previously paid the pre-judgment interest. The trial court awarded costs to Haddock, but found that the offer of judgment was invalid, as was Haddock’s counteroffer of judgment, and the court denied Haddock’s quest for counsel fees. We affirm.
¶ 2 The facts of this case are not disputed. Haddock and her husband, Plaintiff Randall Haddock, filed suit against Woodland Park after Haddock was injured in an auto accident involving a car driven by one of Woodland Park’s employees. Haddock sought damages for personal injuries and her husband made a claim for loss of consortium.
¶ 3 Woodland Park filed its Offer of Judgment July 22, 2002, in which it offered “to confess judgment in favor of Plaintiffs, Peggy Haddock and Randall Haddock, in the amount of $85,000.... This offer must be accepted by both Peggy Haddock and Randall Haddock in order to be enforceable.”
¶ 4 Haddock and her husband filed a Counteroffer of Judgment July 29, 2002. That document provides that “Plaintiff, without conceding the validity of the Offer of Judgment of the Defendant ..., or waiving their right to object to it, submit the following counteroffers ...” The Counteroffer then provided that Haddock counteroffered $353,000, her husband counteroffered $20,000 and together they counteroffered $373,000.
¶ 5 Haddock and her husband then filed on October 15, 2002 a Motion to Strike Offer of Judgment. They contended that Woodland Park’s. Offer of Judgment did not comply with 12 O.S. § 1101.1 because it made one offer to both plaintiffs and did not afford them the opportunity to accept or reject the offer individually. Haddock and her husband asked that the offer be stricken, or in the alternative, that they be allowed to comment on the offer at ⅛¾1.
¶ 6 Woodland Park filed its Objection to Motion to Strike October 17, 2002. Woodland Park argued that its Offer of Judgment was proper under § 1101.1, and also argued that Haddock’s Motion-to Strike was untimely where Haddock had previously submitted a Counteroffer of Judgment. Woodland Park also argued that § 1101.1(C) expressly provides that evidence of offers or counteroffers of judgment is not admissible except in actions to enforce settlement agreement or to determine reasonable attorney fees and costs.
¶7 Jury trial was held October 21-24, 2002. The journal entry of judgment was filed November 13, 2002, which provided that the jury found in favor of Haddock and awarded her $350,000 in damages. The jury found in favor of Woodland Park on the husband’s claim for loss of consortium. The court entered judgment in favor of Haddock for $350,000 plus pre-judgment interest, costs and post-judgment interest as prescribed by law.
¶ 8 Haddock filed her Application for Prejudgment Interest, Attorney Fees, and Costs November 13, 2002. Haddock sought $148,229.41 in pre-judgment interest. Haddock asserted that the damages award and pre-judgment interest totaled $498,229.41, which exceeded the Offer of Judgment made by Woodland Park. Haddock asserted that because Woodland Park did not accept Haddock’s Counteroffer of Judgment and because Haddock received a judgment for more than the amount of her counteroffer (after adding pre-judgment interest), then she was entitled to attorney fees incurred from the date of the counteroffer to the date of the verdict, plus costs. 1 Haddock requested *596 $12,043.09 in costs and $28,525 in attorney fees. Haddock later supplemented her application for costs seeking an additional $750.
¶ 9 Woodland Park filed its Objection to the application for attorney fees November 25, 2002. Woodland Park asserted, as had Haddock in her Motion to Strike Offer of Judgment, that § 1101.1 provides that any defendant may file an offer of judgment for a sum certain to any plaintiff. Woodland Park asserted that based on Haddock’s Motion to Strike, the trial court had ruled before trial that the Offer of Judgment was ineffective because it was made jointly to both plaintiffs. 2 Woodland Park argued that because its Offer of Judgment was invalid, Haddock’s Counteroffer of Judgment was likewise invalid, because there was no valid offer to counter, and that Haddock was therefore not entitled to attorney fees. Woodland Park also argued that if the court had not ruled that the offer and counteroffer were ineffective, Woodland Park would be entitled to an award of fees from Randall Haddock, who did not prevail and necessarily received less than his counteroffer of judgment. 3 Woodland Park also argued that the costs requested were unreasonable and unsupported by the record. Woodland Park lastly asserted that on November 22, 2002 it had delivered to Haddock’s counsel a check for $499,891.10, representing the damages award plus pre-and post-judgment interest. Woodland Park asked that the court deny Haddock’s request for attorney fees and costs.
¶ 10 Woodland Park filed its Motion to Tax Costs December 2, 2002. Woodland Park asserted that it was the prevailing party as to Randall Haddock and was therefore entitled to an award of costs pursuant to 12 O.S. § 929. Woodland Park asked for an award of $6,697.59 as costs.
¶ 11 Haddock filed her “Second Supplemental Application Costs” December 16, 2002, in which she sought $29,218.27. Many of the costs itemized in the second supplement were similar, but not identical, to those amounts itemized in the original application for costs and first supplement. To this, Haddock added a request for $17,738.76 for expert witness expenses.
¶ 12 The trial court issued its final order on Haddock’s applications for pre-judgment interest, attorney fees and costs, and on Woodland Park’s motion for costs January 17, 2003. The trial court denied Haddock’s application for attorney fees under 12 O.S. § 1101.1. The trial court itemized the costs it granted to Haddock, totaling $4,059.56. The trial court awarded Woodland Park the cost of the deposition of Randall Haddock, in the amount of $205. The trial court denied all other costs requests. The court found that pre-judgment interest previously had been paid. It is from this order that Haddock appeals.
¶ 13 Haddock first argues that the trial court erred in ruling that Woodland Park’s Offer of Judgment was invalid because it offered one sum to both plaintiffs, without apportionment. Haddock has failed to acknowledge that this is the exact argument she made in support of her Motion to Strike the Offer of Judgment. Haddock in essence appeals from the trial court’s decision to do exactly as Haddock requested it to do. Nevertheless, we find the trial court correctly denied Haddock’s application for attorney fees.
*597 ¶ 14 The Offer of Judgment by Woodland Park provided one judgment amount directed to both plaintiffs and expressly required' the plaintiffs to accept the judgment together. Such an offer of judgment is invalid. Section 1101.1 provides that any defendant may make an offer of judgment as to any plaintiff. No published Oklahoma case has ruled whether the use of the singular in the statute requires that an offer be made to each plaintiff singly. The following holdings from the Florida Supreme Court and Court of Appeals are illustrative:
Generally, an offeror must apportion an offer of settlement among offerees, whether the offerees are plaintiffs or defendants. See, e.g., Allstate Indem. Co. v. Hingson,808 So.2d 197 , 199 (Fla.2002) (holding that the old rule required an offer to multiple plaintiffs to be apportioned among the plaintiffs, even without the specificity requirement that was added to the rule in 1997); Dudley v. McCormick,799 So.2d 436 , 441 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (holding that Rule 1.442 requires that a joint offer made by a single defendant to two separate plaintiffs must specify the amount to go to each plaintiff); McFarland & Son, Inc. v. Basel,727 So.2d 266 , 270 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999) (“[A] general offer to a group of defendants without assigning each defendant a specific amount must be held to lack the particularity required by the rule.”); Ford Motor Co. v. Meyers ex rel. Meyers,771 So.2d 1202 , 1204 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) (holding that a general offer made to two defendants was deficient even though there was an indemnification agreement between the two defendants);.... This specificity requirement, applied even prior to the amendment to Rule 1.442, allows each party to evaluate the offer independently. See C & S Chem., Inc. v. McDougald,754 So.2d 795 , 797-98 n. 3 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).
Hilyer Sod, Inc. v. Willis Shaw Exp., Inc.,
¶ 15 Other courts have reached the same conclusion on this issue. In
Weeks v. City of Colorado Springs,
¶ 16 Haddock argues that her husband’s claim for loss of consortium was derivative of her claim for personal injuries and therefore Woodland Park’s Offer of Judgment to both plaintiffs together was valid. Haddock relies on
Deocampo v. Ahn,
¶ 17 The Oklahoma offer of judgment statute, § 1101.1, does not allow a plaintiff to initiate an offer of settlement to a defendant. And, the Oklahoma statute uses the singular “any defendant” and “any plaintiff.” Most importantly though, we agree with the eases which find that an unapportioned offer to multiple plaintiffs prevents each plaintiff from evaluating the settlement offer against the value of his or her claim and would lead to confusion in apportioning the various plaintiffs’s responsibility for the attorney fees award after a judgment for less than the settlement offer. Even though the loss of consortium claim was derivative of Haddock’s claim, it is still unclear from Woodland Park’s offer of judgment which portion of the offer was directed to Haddock and which portion to her husband. Clarity requires separate offers to each plaintiff (or to “any plaintiff’ as the statute provides). We find no error in the implicit finding that Woodland Park’s Offer of Judgment, containing one amount to be accepted jointly by both plaintiffs, was invalid under § 1101.1.
¶ 18 Haddock next argues that the trial court erred in determining that her Counteroffer of Judgment was invalid. As noted above, § 1101.1 does not contain a provision for a plaintiff initiating an offer of judgment. Without a valid offer from Woodland Park, Haddock’s “counteroffer” was at best an offer of judgment, which is not embraced by § 1101.1. We conclude that the trial court correctly determined that Haddock’s counteroffer was invalid because Woodland Park’s offer was invalid.
AFFIRMED.
Notes
. The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals has held that pre-judgment interest may be added to a
*596
verdict to determine the amount of judgment before comparing the amount of judgment to the amount of a rejected counteroffer, for purposes of awarding or not awarding attorney fees under § 1101.1.
Morava v. Central Oklahoma Medical Group, Inc.,
. Nothing in the record documents that the trial court made this decision before trial. But as will be discussed, the court’s order denying Haddock's application for attorney fees effectively granted her Motion to Strike the Offer of Judgment. And, in her Petition in Error and Brief, Haddock also asserts that the trial court ruled before trial that Woodland Park's offer of judgment was invalid.
. Woodland Park additionally asserted 1) that Haddock's application for fees was deficient because it failed to distinguish between fees incurred on behalf of Haddock and those incurred pursuing her husband's claim; and 2) the hourly rate requested was unreasonably high for a personal injury case.
