Georgia Casualty & Surety Co. v. Waters

On Motion for Rehearing.

Movant erroneously contends that the instant holding is in conflict with National General Ins. Co. v. Meeks, 145 Ga. App. 830 (1978). In this case, construing the statute, we held that recovery under basic personal injury protection is limited to $5,000 per person and that, absent election of optional coverage, "stacking” is not permitted above that limit. In Meeks, supra, we permitted limited "stacking” up to the $5,000 maximum, where such limit had not been reached under one policy.

Motion for rehearing denied.
