How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar

Workers' comp generally covers on-the-job injuries regardless of fault, but when someone other than your employer, such as a contractor, a driver, or an equipment maker, caused your injury, Georgia's at-fault system may allow a separate claim against them. In that third-party claim, Georgia's modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar applies, so you must be less than 50% at fault to recover, with your share reducing the award. A third-party injury claim generally carries a two-year deadline, and the two paths have very different rules and timelines. Immigration status does not erase your right to seek help. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Georgia attorney who can explain both options.

What a connected attorney can do

  • Investigate what happened and identify who is responsible
  • Deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to
  • Track the 2 years filing deadline so you never miss it
  • Pursue the compensation you're actually owed

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring a claim beyond workers' comp in Georgia?

Sometimes yes. If a third party other than your employer caused your injury, you may have a separate claim under Georgia's at-fault rules in addition to workers' compensation. An independent attorney can identify whether a third party shares responsibility.

Does my immigration status affect my right to seek help in Georgia?

Your right to seek legal help after a workplace injury does not depend on immigration status. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with a Georgia attorney, and we serve Spanish-speaking workers.

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.

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.
