What can I do if a Georgia insurer denies a valid equipment breakdown claim?
Quick answer:
Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, you can send the insurer a written demand. If it fails to pay within 60 days and a court finds the refusal was in bad faith, the insurer can owe a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus your attorney fees.
