Liability in Georgia

If you have a car accident in Georgia, the at fault party can only recover money from their own insurance. When you are labeled as vehicle No 1 on the police report and/or received a traffic ticket, you are allegedly at fault for the accident.

If you are not at fault, the damages you are owed are based on your medical treatment. A doctor assesses the extent of  your injury, whether it's connected to the accident, and recommends treatment.  This information is used to determine the value of the case. If you are injured in an accident it is vital that you get treatment right away.  Waiting will make it difficult for the doctor to connect your injury to the accident.
