What are my rights if a Georgia insurer denies my claim?

Quick answer: Under O.C.G.A. 33-6-30 to 33-6-37, your insurer must acknowledge a claim within 15 days and decide it within 15 to 30 days, with any denial in writing. Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, if a carrier refuses a covered claim in bad faith, it can owe a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees.
