Determining who is at fault in a car accident is crucial under Georgia law because it impacts liability, insurance claims, and compensation. Georgia follows an at-fault system for auto accidents, meaning the driver who caused the crash (through negligence or violating traffic laws) is responsible for damages. This article breaks down how fault is assigned in Georgia car accidents, covering the state’s fault laws (including comparative negligence), key traffic rules that affect fault, the role of evidence, common accident scenarios, and how fault influences insurance claims and compensation.
