Georgia's Fault System
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence system with a 50% bar rule. If an injured person is 50% or more at fault, they are barred from recovering damages. If less than 50% at fault, damages are reduced proportionally. Insurance companies scrutinize fault percentages, making accurate documentation critical to protect your recovery rights.
