What Happens if I’m Partly at Fault?
Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation if you’re less than 50 percent at fault, but your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the blame for the accident.
No matter what law enforcement or the insurance company tells you, no finding of fault is conclusive without a proper investigation. The insurance company’s investigation is biased and law enforcement’s investigation is generally not as thorough as ours.
We’re dedicated to proving you are less than 50 percent at fault. We work with accident reconstructionists, interview witnesses, download the black box data on both vehicles and take any measures necessary to reduce your percentage of fault. We’ve even purchased vehicle wreckage to perform a more detailed analysis.
Don’t let a finding of fault stop you from reaching out to a reputable Macon car accident attorney. Call us today at (478) 310-2562.

“After a serious injury, the most important thing is getting your attorney involved early. There are issues that come up when it comes to preservation, and preservation is a way that an attorney will be able to tell the at-fault driver or the at-fault owner that they need to preserve all the evidence. And sometimes using insurance companies, if they don't have notice that they need to save evidence, we'll get rid of them. And so an attorney can step in early and make sure they're preserving all the evidence.”
What To Do After a Car Accident
You must take action as quickly as possible after a car accident to promote your medical recovery and protect your personal injury case. You can protect your claim by doing the following:
- Follow through with medical treatment. Delaying medical treatment or missing appointments gives the insurance company ammunition to contend that your injuries aren’t serious.
- Stay away from social media. Insurance companies monitor social media, hoping to find posts about the accident and your injuries to use against you and minimize your injuries.
- Don’t give the insurance company a recorded statement. The insurance company’s lawyers will design the questions to work against you. They will scrutinize your answers, misconstrue your statements, and use them against you.
- Don’t accept the insurance company’s offer without an attorney. An early offer by insurance companies is almost always lower than you deserve.
- Contact our experienced car accident attorneys near Macon as soon as possible. We will handle the communications with the insurance company and start protecting your rights from the beginning. Involving us early also ensures we can access all the evidence while it is still available.
