Si un transportista de mercancías no obtiene un permiso, todavía puede ser considerado un transportista. Esto significa que aunque cometan un error, siguen teniendo responsabilidades legales si causan un accidente.
Es como si un conductor no tuviera licencia, pero aún así puede manejar un auto. Si causa un accidente, la ley aún lo considera responsable por lo que hizo, aunque no haya seguido todos los pasos legales.
Imagina que Juan tiene un camión de reparto. No pidió el permiso necesario para operar, pero aún así, hace entregas. Si un día causa un accidente por manejar de manera descuidada, seguirá siendo considerado responsable, aunque no tenga el permiso en regla.
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor's notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former O.C.G.A. § 46-7-12.1, are included in the annotations for this Code section. Failure to obtain permit had no impact on status as motor carrier of property. - Motor carrier's noncompliance with the carrier's responsibility to obtain a permit had no impact on the carrier's status as a Georgia "motor carrier of property" under former paragraph (8) of O.C.G.A. § 46-1-1 because while the failure to get a permit rendered the motor carrier in violation of the Act, that failure did not render the motor carrier any less a "motor carrier of property" under applicable law. Sapp v. Canal Ins. Co., 288 Ga. 681 , 706 S.E.2d 644 (2011) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 46-7-12.1) Policy triggers coverage, not technical filings with state. - Insurer was subject to a direct action under the former Georgia Motor Carrier Act, former O.C.G.A. § 46-7-12.1(c), by third parties injured by virtue of the motor carrier's negligence, notwithstanding the carrier's failure to file a certificate of insurance as required under the Act; the statute was a clear expression of the legislature's intent to prevent insurers from insulating themselves from liability under the Motor Carrier Act by failing to comply with the Act's technical requirements, and the insurer's duty to the public stems from the Act as triggered through the insurance policy rather than from the insurer's filings with the state
