Robertsv.Unison Behavioral Health
Sally Madison Roberts sued Unison Behavioral Health, a Georgia community service board, after an accident involving a vehicle owned by Unison. The Supreme Court of Georgia considered whether Roberts’s ante litem notice under the Georgia Tort Claims Act adequately described the nature of her loss. The Court held that the notice was sufficient and reversed the Court of Appeals’ contrary decision. The statute required enough information to allow the State to investigate and evaluate the claim; it did not require the claimant to provide every detail of her injuries. The Court remanded for further proceedings. A special concurrence clarified that an advocate’s decision to press an argument should not be characterized as improper.
