Understanding Your Legal Rights
As a car accident victim in Georgia, you have specific legal rights that protect you. Understanding these rights is crucial for ensuring that you receive fair compensation:
- Fault and Negligence: Georgia follows a fault-based system, meaning the driver responsible for the accident is liable for damages.
- Comparative Fault: Even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover damages, but they may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
- Insurance Coverage: Georgia requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, but additional coverage may be available depending on your policy.
