Misrepresentaion of a risk or concealment of a risk factor is legally considered fraud by the applicant. Misreprentation or concealment is an intentional attempt to obtain coverage or enduce an insurer to accept a risk that it may not have accepted or would otherwise have been rated differently should the applicant have been truthful from the beginning. An insurer is not required to pay losses incurred under a fraudulently obtained policy and could even result in criminal prosecution of the applicant.

What are the implications of material facts to insurance?

A material fact is any fact that would reasonably influence an insurers underwriting decision on a policy, i.e.: would influence their decision whether to issue a policy or the premium for the policy. For example, if you apply for an automobile insurance policy and represent that you are accident and violation free, when in fact you were responsible for a DUI accident last year, your misrepresentation is considered material as the insurer would not have issued the policy if in possession of the facts. Conversely, if you insure a 2009 F-150 Black pickup truck when the vehicle is , in fact, a 2009 F-150 Green pickup, the misrepresentation is not material as it would not influence the decision to insure or the premium charged. The effect of a material misrepresentation varies by state. In the majority of states, known as increase in risk states, a material misrepresentation is grounds for recission of the policy, i.e.: the policy is declared void ab initio (from the beginning) effectively no policy ever existed and any intervening losses are uninsured. In a minority of states, known as contribute to risk states, the misrepresentation must actually contribute to a loss for the loss not to be covered, e.g.: you represent that a wood framed & sided building is fire resistant masonry construction and the building burns to the ground. Life insurance is treated similarly with the exception that policies are required to contain incontestability clauses which prevent recission after the passage of a period of time (typically two years).

Can you get car insurance in Georgia on a car that is not in your name?

No. You cannot insure a vehicle that you do not own. The only exception to this is in a family situation where a married couple has one vehicle in one name and the other vehicle in the other name. I always recommend that the insurance be listed in both names to prevent any problems and to allow both parties to make changes and sign documents. The fact is that you cannot insure something that you don't own because if the property is damaged you have no financial loss so the company cannot pay you and since they don't have a contract with the owner of the vehicle they can't pay them either. If you buy insurance on a vehicle you don't own then you have committed material misrepresentation on the insurance application and the insurance contract is null and void. Simply don't do it.
