O.C.G.A. § 10-1-642

Risk of loss for vehicle in transit

Code 1981, § 10-1-642, enacted by Ga

Notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any agreement of franchise, a manufacturer or distributor selling motor vehicles to dealers is liable for all damages to such motor vehicles before delivery to a carrier or transporter. If a dealer selects the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the dealer upon delivery of the vehicle to the carrier. In every other instance, the risk of loss remains with the franchisor until such time as the dealer or his designee accepts the vehicle from the carrier.
