[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"In many circumstances, being involved in a multi-vehicle car accident will not affect the amount of compensation you can recover for your injuries. If you were in no way responsible for the collision, you will still be eligible to recover full compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and other accident-related losses.  However, in some cases, your compensation might be reduced. Georgia law operates on the principle of modified comparative negligence. When a person is partially liable for an accident, they may still be eligible to recover compensation as long as they bear less than 50 percent of the fault. However, the amount of their compensation will be reduced in proportion to their percentage of fault.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/what-you-should-know-about-multi-vehicle-accident-cases\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"If you were partially responsible for the multi-vehicle accident, your compensation will be reduced proportionately to your percentage of fault.
