Car Accidents and Modified Comparative Negligence in the State of Georgia

In the state of Georgia, a person injured in a car accident can recover damages only if they are deemed less than 50% responsible for an accident. Additionally, following the modified comparative negligence rule, the amount of damages paid can be reduced by the amount of fault shared by an injured person.

For example, if you suffered $10,000 in damages but are held 40% at fault, an insurer isn't required to pay you the full $10,000. Since you are 40% at fault, your claims can be reduced by that amount, leaving you with only $6,000 in recovered damages.

For these reasons, it's not uncommon for insurance companies to employ accident investigators in the hopes of finding you 50% or more at fault. If it's clear that the other driver bears most of the responsibility, insurers may still try and reduce the amount they have to pay you by assigning some of the fault to you.
