Here's a myth that costs people thousands of dollars every year. "If the accident was partly my fault, I can't recover anything." Georgia law says otherwise. The state follows modified comparative negligence (meaning compensation stays on the table as long as your fault percentage stays below 50). So if a driver blew a red light while you were going a few miles over the speed limit, the case doesn't end there. Your share of fault may trim the payout, but it doesn't vanish entirely.
Most people assume the opposite. They accept nothing, or never even pick up the phone, because they think the fault label closes the door. It doesn't. Your specific situation carries far more weight than any general assumption. Talking to someone who handles these cases every day is the only real way to find out where you stand.
