Georgia Court of Appeals
Isaac Woods et al. v. Allstate Property And Casualty Insurance Company
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue is whether obtaining a judgment against an uninsured motorist tortfeasor is a condition precedent to suing an uninsured motorist carrier for benefits under the Uninsured Motorist Act. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed that liability in the underlying motor vehicle accident must be litigated before pursuing claims against the uninsured motorist carrier, and the complaint failed to establish this prerequisite, thus AFFIRMED.
