Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

My mother in law moved from FL to GA. During this trip the truck broke down twice and another day truck showed up without crew to unload. Terrible communication from company. I,her son in law, emailed corporate to state how upset and that they should give her a financial break. They offered a small amount-said that was max by law. I said she is fine with that but to be careful as now I did not want a rush delivery and anything to get damaged. Then I received an email from this person by mistake that was supposed to go to their CEO which read: "We won...Can't wait to see the claim." I feel this is personal injury in that they are attacking my integrity. I do not file fraudelent claims--and I am a licensed agent and a certified insurance counselor. I would like to go after them under their CGL contract under an intentional tort and libel claim.

You leave us to try to guess what you are talking about. Whose truck? What "company?" What "corporate?" Who is the "they" and what did they offer? It appears in trying to guess what the story is, you think you have a claim against someone for a "personal injury" because an email meant for someone else said "we won." Won what? Being offended (and you don't tell us how you were offended, or what relationship you have to "them") does not provide an opportunity to get a big check in a lawsuit. If there is more to the story, you need to post again, and include the facts as well as the missing statements that you believe are libelous.

Nothing in your post sounds like it constitutes a personal injury claim. Moving contracts contain all sorts of limitations on liability and the maximum liability will be what is stated in the contract.
