Katherine Griffin Barker v. Marlon Brack Muschett

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a release signed by a claimant complies with the statutory requirements of OCGA § 33-24-41.1 to preserve an underinsured motorist claim after settling for policy limits. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment because the release did not comply with the statute, meaning the claimant failed to preserve her UM benefits claim.
