Appellant-plaintiff filed a claim for no-fault income benefits pursuant to an automobile liability insurance policy issued by appellee defendant. When appellee denied the claim, appellant initiated the instant action to recover not only those benefits, but also statutory penalties, attorney's fees, and punitive damages. Appellant appeals from the trial court's order granting appellee's motion for summary judgment. When a claimant is seeking to recover no-fault income benefits pursuant to OCGA 33-34-4 (a) (2) (B) and he is paid periodically by the job rather than regularly at a fixed rate, he must "show that he had '. . . jobs waiting for him at the times he was unable to work [and] . . . what they were, [and] that . . . he did not have the opportunity later to do these jobs [.]. . .' [Cit.]" (Emphasis supplied.) State Farm Mut. Ins. Co. v. Moss, 152 Ga. App. 84, 85 (2) ( 262 SE2d 248) (1979). Obviously, appellant will have the opportunity later to sell such scrap metal as he already possesses and stores in his salvage yard. Construing the evidence most favorably for appellant, he has suffered, at most, a delay in such income or earnings as he derives from his inventory of scrap metal, rather than a compensable loss of any income or earnings. Accordingly, the trial court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of appellee. |
