Reis v. Ooida Risk Retention Group, Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed summary judgment for OOIDA, holding that Georgia’s motor‑carrier and insurance‑carrier direct‑action statutes are preempted by the federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986 as applied to a foreign risk‑retention group. The Court reasoned that the statutes regulate the operation of OOIDA and therefore fall within the LRRA’s express preemption provision.
