WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ‘COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE’
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN ANY PERSONAL INJURY CASE
If you’ve been in a serious accident, the resulting legal processes are almost sure to be a headache if you decide to handle it yourself. But even if you decide to get a lawyer — and you absolutely should in order to give your case the best chance possible for success — it’s important to understand one component of personal injury lawsuits in Georgia. It’s called “comparative negligence,” and it can be the difference between receiving the compensation you need for your recovery and not getting a single cent. In some U.S. states, usually called “no-fault” states, you can recover damages whether an accident was your fault or not. But Georgia is what’s called a “modified comparative negligence” state, which means that any party who is more than 50 percent at fault for an accident cannot recover any damages whatsoever. Even if you’re 49 percent culpable, you’re still safe, but inch that up even a single percent and you have no claim to any compensation whatsoever.
It’s also worth noting that, in Georgia, the amount you can recover is directly proportionate to your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 30 percent at fault, your potential compensation decreases by 30 percent. These percentages are determined during the legal process, usually as your insurer uses everything at their disposal to establish your negligence and thus, reduce the amount they have to pay you for your injuries. So, as abstract as that percentage may seem, it’s vitally important to your case. Establishing negligence isn’t a simple matter, and certainly not one most people are equipped to handle.
