Georgia Notice of Claim Form

In Georgia, a Notice of Claim is only required when a party does not a have a direct contractual relationship with the prime contractor who provided the bond. However, A Notice of Claim can be very helpful for a Claimant who does have a direct contract with the prime contractor – it provides an opportunity to potentially resolve the dispute before involving attorneys or filing suit. A Notice of Claim must be sent to the prime contractor, but it’s a good idea to send the claim to the surety and the awarding authority as well. Notifying them of the dispute could put extra pressure on a prime contractor to resolve the dispute.
