Georgia Court of Appeals

Jennifer Dianne Hunter et al.. v. Progressive Mountain Insurance Company

A19A2074 January 17, 2020 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether an increase in standard auto liability coverage triggered Progressive's duty to offer an increased uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage level. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision because the change did not trigger a statutory duty since no new policy was created and the Hunters had already elected to decouple their UM coverage from standard liability limits.
