The Georgia Court of Appeals recently declined to grant a declaratory judgment in favor of an auto insurer who asked a metro Atlanta court to rule it did not owe coverage to an at-fault driver on the receiving end of an $8.5 million judgment. However, according to appellee attorney Ben Brodhead of Brodhead Law, who represented the accident victim, this could potentially tee up an even larger claim for the at-fault motorist.
“We are evaluating [the case] and anticipate pursuing a claim in the near future,” said the at-fault driver’s counsel, Buck Rogers. “I think that she should definitely be able to recover more than the amount of the judgment.”
