Does Georgia’s comparative fault rule apply to trucking accidents and other commercial vehicle crashes?

Yes. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 applies to all tort cases in Georgia, including commercial trucking accidents, rideshare crashes, and delivery vehicle collisions. However, these cases also involve federal regulatory frameworks (FMCSA) that create additional duties—and additional sources of fault for defendants.
