How does Georgia fault law affect an RV accident claim?
Quick answer:
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence and bars recovery once you are 50 percent or more at fault (O.C.G.A. 51-12-33). Below that, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If an insurer refuses a valid claim in bad faith after a 60-day written demand, it can owe a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus attorney fees (O.C.G.A. 33-4-6).
