Key Valuation Factors
Severity and permanence of plaintiff's injuriesDefendant's prior knowledge of the hazard (actual vs. constructive notice)Plaintiff's comparative fault percentage under Georgia's 50% modified ruleVulnerability of the victim (age, pre-existing conditions)Nature of premises and defendant's duty of care (invitee, licensee, or trespasser)
Key Trends & Insights
Based on the limited dataset of two tracked cases, Premises Liability verdicts in Georgia show outcomes ranging from $1.8M to $4.2M, with a median and mean of $3.0M, suggesting a relatively consistent midpoint despite the variance between cases. The higher-value outcome involved a dog attack by a dangerous breed against an elderly victim, while the lower outcome involved a slip-and-fall at a commercial establishment, indicating that the nature of the hazard and victim vulnerability are significant valuation drivers. Georgia's modified comparative fault rule (50% bar) and absence of a non-economic damages cap allow plaintiffs to pursue substantial recoveries, though the small sample size of two cases limits the ability to draw definitive trend conclusions.
