What happens if a Georgia carrier refuses to pay a covered landlord claim?
Quick answer:
You can make a written demand for payment. If the carrier fails to pay within 60 days and a court later finds the refusal was in bad faith, it owes a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees (O.C.G.A. Section 33-4-6).
