Follow on Google News | Georgia Passes Legislation Giving Consumers What They Paid For With Uninsured Motorist CoverageGeorgia residents are a Governor’s signature away from having full access to their Underinsured Motorist coverage (“UM”) in their automobile insurance policies.
By: Brauns Law PC “This change would finally give the consumer full access to the most important insurance you can purchase - insurance that protects families from drivers who do not carry enough insurance,” says David J. Brauns, a former insurance company attorney who now devotes his practice to only representing injured people and who has gone before the Georgia Court of Appeals on this very issue. “Most people are shocked when they pursue their UM insurance after an accident and realize they have been paying premiums on coverage they may not have full access to. The change in the law would provide the peace of mind that consumers have additional protection against uninsured and underinsured motorist for the full amount on which they have been paying premiums.” While the insurance industry has argued this change will raise rates, Mr. Brauns notes that UM coverage is optional (but highly recommended) Once signed, the law will become effective for policies issued or renewed after January 1, 2009.
