    Nos. 96-0968, 96-1522.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    April 30, 1997.
    Richard A. Barnett of Richard A. Barnett, P.A, Hollywood, for appellants.
    Robert H. Schwartz, Jonathan M. Matz-ner, and Scott C. Burgess of Adorno & Zed-er, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellees-Jerrold Ramasami, Ceasar R. Siclare, and Diane Chikvosky.
    Shelley Ray Senecal of Hightower & Rudd, P.A., Miami, and Frances Fernandez Guasch, Weston, for Appellees-Hertz Corporation and Sherwood M. Snyder.
   PER CURIAM.

It is undisputed that the trial court erred by awarding attorney’s fees and costs to Appellees, as their offer of judgment was not timely filed under section 768.79, Florida Statutes (1995). Knealing v. Puleo, 675 So.2d 593 (Fla.1996). Therefore, as to attorney’s fees and costs, we reverse and remand for modification consistent with Knealing. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
