Georgia injury law, in practice

Georgia is an at-fault state with no mandatory first-party medical coverage, so treatment is usually funded by a letter of protection or a statutory lien while liability is worked out. Georgia also bars recovery at 50% fault rather than 51%, which makes it less forgiving than most comparative-negligence states.
