Key Valuation Factors

Key Trends & Insights
Based on the limited dataset of two tracked Premises Liability cases in Georgia, outcomes range from $1.8M to $4.2M with a median and mean of $3.0M, suggesting moderately high jury valuations in this practice area. The higher verdict in the dog bite case involving an elderly victim and a dangerous breed (Presa Canario) reflects Georgia juries' willingness to award substantially more when vulnerable plaintiffs face severe or traumatic injuries. While the sample size is too small to draw definitive conclusions, Georgia's lack of a general non-economic damage cap and its modified comparative fault threshold of 50% provide plaintiffs meaningful opportunities to pursue full compensation, particularly when defendant negligence is clear.
