Should I Get a Lawyer for a Car Accident That Was My Fault?

Thinking that you are at fault for a car accident is not the same as actually bearing full responsibility for the accident. In fact, it’s human nature to blame ourselves when things go wrong, which makes consulting with an experienced Atlanta car accident lawyer from the outset an excellent idea (even if you think you are to blame). If the accident actually is your fault, your dedicated car accident lawyer can help mitigate the negative consequences you face.

Partial Fault

If the State of Georgia, both of the following are all true:

  • Even if you are partially responsible for a car accident, you are not legally barred from seeking compensation for the percentage of damages that the other driver is responsible for (as long as it is at least 50 percent).
  • If you are more than 50 percent responsible, determining the other driver’s percentage of fault can reduce the percentage that is attributable to you and the amount of the other driver’s settlement.
