How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar

Because Georgia is an at-fault state, the trucking company and its insurer are responsible when their driver causes a crash, but commercial cases add federal FMCSA safety rules, driver logs, and multiple potentially liable parties. Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar still applies: you can recover only if you are less than 50% at fault, and your award drops by your share of the blame. The same two-year deadline to bring an injury claim applies, and critical evidence like electronic logs and dashcam footage can disappear fast. These claims move quickly and defense teams act early. FaultFreeClaims can match you with an independent, licensed Georgia attorney experienced with commercial-truck cases.

Frequently asked questions

Why are truck accident claims in Georgia different from car accidents?

Commercial trucks are governed by federal FMCSA regulations and usually carry much larger insurance policies, and more than one party, such as the driver or trucking company, may share fault. An independent Georgia attorney can help preserve logs and other evidence before it is lost.

Does Georgia's 50% fault rule apply to truck crashes?

Yes. Georgia's modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar means you must be less than 50% at fault to recover, and your compensation is reduced by your share. Acting within the two-year deadline matters, so connecting with an attorney early helps.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 2 years personal injury; 2 years wrongful death; property damage 4 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.

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.
