What happens if a Georgia insurer denies a nonprofit's covered claim in bad faith?
Quick answer:
Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, 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 fees.
