What if I was partially at fault for the forklift accident in Georgia?

Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-11-7. You can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your damages total $1 million, you recover $800,000. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing — which is why having an experienced attorney who can shift fault to the defendant is so critical.
