On March 18, 2024, the Georgia General Assembly passed Senate Bill 426, which amends O.C.G.A. § 40-1-112 and O.C.G.A. § 40-2-140 and limits the circumstances under which a plaintiff can assert a direct action against the insurer of a motor carrier. It has been signed by the Governor.

Senate Bill 83 significantly changes and brings clarity to time-limited demands for injury claims arising out of motor vehicle collisions, which had become increasingly uncertain and chaotic with “gotcha” demands designed to be virtually impossible to accept.
