`~ ~ ~~' r ~~ j32 Golo. 564 PACIFIC REPORTER, 2d SERIES in the first two parts of this opinion. How- ever, additions] eaaignmenu of error were rained in the so-called "Supplement to De- fendant's Motion for New Trial" filed on April 25, 1975, three days before the coon heard argument on the initial motion. Be- cause these amendmenu to the motion for new trial in the "Supplemental Motion" were not filed within the time allowed for the motion fore nea trial, and because Carnation did not seek an extension of time to file amendmenu to iu motion either within the period previously granted be the t.riel mart or at any time prior to the hear- ing on the motion, the "Supplemental Mo- lion" is a nullit}•, and we are without juris- diction to revie~• iu allegations. C.R.C.P. 59(b), and (f), see People r. McCollum, Colo.App., 555 P?d l84 (1976). Ke have, however, considered the argumenu raised by the "Supplemental Motion" and have concluded that each assignment presented in the "Supp)emental Motion" is without merit. It'. Section 13-27-101, C.P.5.1973, provides that interest on personal injun~ damage awards mac be recovered from the date the complaint is filed. The Millers contend that the}• are entit)ed to the benefiu of this provision on that portion of the award rela- ting to annoyance and discomfort. The tri- al mart's denial of interest on this portion of the award from the sate of the com- plaint is error. (18,19] An iniun' is personal when it impairs the well-being or the mental or physical health of the victim. For example, a claim for loss of consortium is a personal injun~ within the meaning of the materially identical precursor to § 13-:1-101, C.R.S. 1973. American Insurance Co. r. Naylor, 103 Coio. 461, 87 P?d 260 (1939). In con- trast, an injury is not personal when inflict- ed on progeny. Therefore, interest on the award for annoyance and discomfort is re- coverable from the date of the filing of the Millers' complaint. The judgment is affirmed with respect to Carnation's liability and the damages awarded in the jury's verdict, as remitted. The order denying interest requested b}• the plaintifts is reversed, and the cause is re- manded with directions to the trial court to enter judgment on the award for annoy- ance and discomfort, together with interest thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum Srom the date of the filing of the original complaint in this action w the date of the entry of judgment pursuant to this remand.
