How is fault percentage determined at trial?
At trial, the jury receives a special verdict form asking them to assign percentages of fault to each party, including any non-parties identified by the defendants. The jury must find that the percentages total 100%. The judge then applies the O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 formula to calculate the final damages award.
