What if I was partly at fault in a road rage incident?
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. You can recover damages as long as you were less than 50 percent at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20 percent at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000. An attorney can help ensure that fault is properly apportioned.
