Can I still seek compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence system under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, which allows you to seek compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the crash. However, your potential financial recovery would be reduced in proportion to your level of fault.

For example, if you were found 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. An experienced Atlanta auto accident attorney can help evaluate the circumstances, organize supporting evidence, and present a case that clearly shows how responsibility should be allocated.
