R.I. Gen. Laws §9-21-10 generally adds 12% post-judgment interest to the amount of pecuniary damages plus the prejudgment interest entered by the clerk. The statute contains claim and contract exclusions and a separate medical-malpractice timing rule, so 12% should not be applied outside the covered branch without checking the judgment and governing subsection.
