JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Conditional payment of benefit.

- Insurance company's conditional payment of Georgia's basic no-fault benefits in an effort to settle litigation did not constitute an admission that Georgia no-fault insurance provisions applied, or an admission of liability or bad faith.

...le. The ultimate holding in Mowery was, however, correct for a different reason. As in Fowler, the no-fault policy was a contract of indemnity providing its own measure of damages which contractually bound the no-fault carrier. Moreover, former OCGA § 33-34-8 (a), which was also cited as authority in Mowery, clearly rendered the collateral source evidence irrelevant and compelled the holding that the no-fault carrier could not rely defensively upon the claimant's receipt of workers' compensation benefits....

...The court stated that an earlier opinion which the Court of Appeals had followed, Freeman v. Ryder Truck Lines, Inc., 244 Ga. 80, 259 *65 SE2d 36 (1979), was no longer applicable because it was decided under the Georgia Motor Vehicle Accident Reparations Act as it existed prior to an April 1979 amendment to section 33-34-8, which now provides that an employee may recover no-fault benefits reduced to a limited extent by the amount he collected as workers' compensation....
