What are my rights on a Georgia flood claim?
Quick answer:
Private flood policies follow Georgia's Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (O.C.G.A. 33-6-30 to 37), which requires a 15-day acknowledgment and a decision within 15 to 30 days of proof of loss. Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, an insurer that refuses a valid claim can face a bad-faith penalty after a 60-day written demand. NFIP claims follow federal rules and require a sworn proof of loss within 60 days.
