Does my own insurance cover me when I stay in an Airbnb or VRBO?

What does Georgia bad-faith insurance law do if my carrier will not pay a claim?

All FAQs

Quick answer: Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, you can make a written demand for payment of a covered claim. If the carrier fails to pay within 60 days and a court later finds the refusal was in bad faith, the carrier can owe a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney fees. You can also file a free complaint with the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire.
