How To Prove Liability

Proving liability is key to recovering compensation after an accident. In Georgia, most personal injury claims are based on negligence, which requires showing the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care.

To succeed, you must establish four elements:

  • Duty of Care – The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act safely.
  • Breach of Duty – They failed to meet that responsibility.
  • Causation – Their actions directly caused your injuries.
  • Damages – You suffered measurable harm, including medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering.
