Georgia Comparative Negligence Law Explained
Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence rule that directly affects your compensation.
How It Works
- You can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault
- Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault
Example
If you’re 20% at fault on a $100,000 claim, your recovery may be reduced to $80,000.
Why Insurers Push Fault
Assigning more fault to you reduces what they pay.
How Case Value Is Calculated in Georgia
