Buy Auto Insurance in Atlanta
Reader’s Question:
My brother’s vehicle was hit while parked on a street in Atlanta, Georgia. There was no witness and he is filing a claim with his insurance company. In the state of Georgia, is there a maximum deductible allowed for hit and run claims?

According to the Georgia Department of Insurance (DOI), Uninsured Motorist Insurance may be included on an insurance policy. Although Georgia requires all motorists to have “liability insurance” to operate a vehicle, there are unfortunately those that either do not abide the law or may have unknowingly permitted their insurance to cancel.
For injury to or destruction of property of the insured, deductibles of $250.00, $500.00, or $1,000.00, at the choice of any named insured in the insurance policy. Subject to the approval of the Commissioner, deductibles above $1,000.00 may be offered, .
If your brother is filing a claim for the damages he sustained in Atlanta GA under collision and not Uninsured Motorist Property Damage (UMPD), then verify with the GA DOI to find out if there is a maximum deductible allowed since the damage is from a hit and run accident.
