Auto Accident At-Fault Defined
Georgia follows a “fault” system when it comes to liability and insurance coverage after an auto accident. What this means is that the at-fault driver is liable for any personal injury or property damage resulting from the accident, and his or her insurance policy will be looked to first in order to satisfy this liability. In Georgia, a person injured in an auto accident has three options for receiving compensation for damages caused by an auto accident:
- Filing a claim with his or her own insurance company
- Pursuing a claim with the other driver’s insurer directly (referred to as a “Third-Party Claim”
- Filing a personal injury lawsuit in civil court
If you are unsure if you should seek legal action for an auto accident you or your loved one was involved in, here are some examples of conduct that may give rise to a presumption of motor vehicle negligence:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Violating right-of-way rules, including a pedestrian’s right-of-way
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- Driving while distracted
- Driving without a valid license
- Running a red light
- Failure to pay attention to surroundings
Our attorneys will review any video footage, police reports, witness statements, etc., and evaluate your damages. Your compensation is based on several factors, including:
- Medical Expenses
- Property Damage
- Pain and Suffering
- Lost Wages, and more
