How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that poliey language stating that insurer will pay “all interest” accruing on judgment against its insured requires an insurer to pay interest on the entire judgment amount
• holding that the assignment of an insured’s tort claim for bad faith failure to settle sounds in tort and involves, at least in part, a claim that the insurer’s conduct exposed the insured’s personal property to loss, and was therefore assignable under OCGA § 44-12-24
• conditional “tender” letter ineffective to stop accrual of post-judgment interest under policy because insurer not allowed to condition partial payment upon forgiveness of entire debt
• “A tender conditioned on a release of “all claims,” which includes claims not included within the obligation at hand, is not effective.”
• under supplementary payment provision, insurance company required to pay interest on entire judgment, not just the amount of the judgment covered by its policy limits
