Georgia Court of Appeals

Kelvin Callaham v. Georgia Ports Authority

A16A0238 May 17, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a letter to an insurance adjuster combined with a notice of claim satisfied the strict ante litem notice requirement under OCGA ยง 50-21-26 (a) (2). The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal because the claimant failed to mail or personally deliver a copy of the notice of claim to the Georgia Ports Authority.
