Does Georgia have a cap on damages in burn injury cases?

Georgia generally does not cap compensatory damages in personal injury cases. Punitive damages are capped at $250,000 in most cases, though exceptions apply when the defendant acted with specific intent to harm or was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. There is no cap on economic or non-economic damages such as pain and suffering in standard tort cases. Medical malpractice cases have separate rules.
