Key Valuation Factors

Key Trends & Insights
Premises liability verdicts in Georgia show notable variation even within a small sample, ranging from $1.8M to $4.2M, suggesting that case-specific facts—such as the nature of the hazard and the defendant's identity—play a substantial role in outcome determination. The higher verdict in the dog attack case involving an elderly victim indicates that sympathetic plaintiffs and severe injury profiles can significantly elevate awards above the midpoint. With Georgia's modified comparative fault rule capping recovery at 50% plaintiff fault, defendants frequently leverage contributory negligence arguments to reduce or bar recovery, making liability clarity a critical valuation driver.
