Georgia Attorneys Secure Summary Judgment in a Wrongful Death Case

Thomasville, GA managing partner, Joshua C. Canton, and partner, Justin B. Hales, recently won summary judgment in a wrongful death case following a coverage dispute regarding uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage where there was not a notice of nonrenewal letter provided by the insurance carrier. The Court ruled that O.C.G.A. §33-24-45(3) which requires written notice before refusing to renew coverage, did not apply in this case because the evidence reflected that the uninsured/underinsured insurance carrier was willing to renew the policy with the Plaintiff’s employer who chose not to renew the policy and failed to pay the premium which rendered the policy not in effect on the date of loss.
