How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar

As an at-fault state, Georgia places responsibility on the driver who caused the harm, but insurers frequently argue the pedestrian shares blame for crossing outside a crosswalk. That argument is powerful under Georgia's modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar, because being assigned 50% or more of the fault ends your recovery, and any lesser share reduces it. You generally have two years from the incident to bring a personal injury claim. Establishing the driver's failure to yield and the crosswalk facts early can decide the outcome. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Georgia attorney who can investigate what happened.

Frequently asked questions

What if I was crossing outside a crosswalk in Georgia?

You may still have a claim. Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule lets you recover if you are less than 50% at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your share. An independent attorney can assess how the crosswalk facts affect your case.

How long do I have to bring a pedestrian claim in Georgia?

Generally two years from the date you were injured. Because witness memories and traffic-camera footage fade, it helps to connect with a Georgia attorney promptly.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Georgia follows this rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar. Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows Georgia law before assuming you have no case.

Does it cost anything to get connected?

No. Getting connected with an attorney through FaultFreeClaims is free and comes with no obligation. We are not a law firm — we connect you with independent, licensed attorneys.
