2 sentences

2003Indeed, GEICO appears to disapprove this type of argument, stating “[t]he difficulty with the conclusion of the district court is that the court leaps from the finding that intrafamily tort immunity is no longer an ironclad doctrine in Georgia to the conclusion that a family exclusion clause is against public policy.” Id.

1989We have stated: “In view of our overriding policy of complete liability coverage for the protection of the public and the insured, if the exclusion were broader than the tort immunity of this state, the exclusion would be against public policy.” GEICO v. Dickey, 255 Ga. 661, 663 ( 340 SE2d 595 ) (1986).
