FMG prevailed in the Georgia Court of Appeals on behalf of its client, the City of Alpharetta. The case involved a claim related to stormwater entering onto a residential property. Attorneys Amy Cowan, Marissa Dunn, and Dana Maine moved to dismiss the action on the basis that the required a pre-suit notice was deficient. The plaintiffs failed to specify the amount of monetary damages sought, instead providing a range that included up to policy limits of any applicable insurance policies. The trial court denied our client’s motion to dismiss, but the Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed, holding that the plaintiffs’ pre-suit notice was deficient.
