Interest on Royalties Owed?

I was underpaid royalties for a book. But I didn't catch the error right away. I finally convinced the publisher I was owed money.

The publisher eventually cut a check for the difference of what I was paid and what I was owed. But during the months I was underpaid and sorting things out, I could have invested the money and made a few thousand.

Since the publisher made the error, can I legally expect them to pay me interest to compensate for my loss on potential investments?
