If you were unsure about filing a personal injury claim because you believe you may share fault for the accident, we have some reassuring news. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means that when you share fault for an accident, you can still be awarded compensation as long as you are not more than forty-nine percent responsible for causing the accident.
If you have concerns that sharing fault could impact your case, reach out to your personal injury attorney for more information. We will help protect your rights and guard your reputation from the tactics the other side may try to use against you.
