Frequently Asked Questions

What is modified comparative negligence in Georgia?
Georgia follows the modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33). You can recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What damages can I recover in a Georgia personal injury case?
Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and future earning capacity. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Georgia does not cap most personal injury damages, though punitive damages require a showing of willful misconduct.
Do most Georgia car accident cases go to trial?
No. Approximately 95% of personal injury cases settle before trial. However, insurance companies pay more when they know your attorney is prepared to litigate. Georgia Auto Law prepares every case as if it will go to a jury.
