How Georgia's at-fault rules shape a car accident lead
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Georgia has no personal injury protection threshold to clear. The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (auto insurance page, 2026) says every driver must carry liability insurance, which pays damages to others when the policyholder is ruled at-fault. An injured claimant looks first to the other driver's liability carrier.
The bigger Georgia change for buyers came in 2025. Senate Bill 68 (2025 session) added Code section 51-12-1.1, which limits medical special damages to the reasonable value of medically necessary care. If the plaintiff has health insurance, the evidence includes both the amounts charged and the amounts needed to satisfy them under the policy.
Where a provider treats under a letter of protection, the same section makes the letter, itemized charges, any sale of the receivable and its price, and who referred the claimant for treatment discoverable. Georgia buyers now ask how treatment is being paid for.
The 50 percent cutoff and the April 2025 dividing line
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Georgia stops recovery at an even split. In a Supreme Court of Georgia decision of August 10, 2021 (Case No. S20G1419), the court quoted O.C.G.A. 51-12-33(g): the plaintiff is not entitled to any damages if the plaintiff is 50 percent or more responsible for the injury or damages claimed. Below that line the award is reduced by the plaintiff's share.
Seat belt use now feeds that percentage. As rewritten by SB 68 section 5 (2025), O.C.G.A. 40-8-76.1(d)(1) says the failure to wear a seat safety belt may be considered in any civil action on negligence, comparative negligence, causation and apportionment of fault, and may diminish recovery.
As revised by Senate Bill 8 (2015), O.C.G.A. 9-3-33 requires actions for injuries to the person to be brought within two years after the right of action accrues.
Timing decides which rules a claim meets. Section 9 of SB 68 makes the Act effective on the Governor's approval, and the Senate Research Office summary (2025) records the signature on April 21, 2025. Sections 6 and 7, which include the medical damages section, apply only to causes of action arising on or after that date. Buyers therefore read the accident date and the fault answers together.
Georgia's 25/50/25 coverage floor
The Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (2026) lists the minimum limits required under Georgia law as $25,000 per person and $50,000 per incident for bodily injury liability, and $25,000 per incident for property damage liability. A serious injury claim can exceed those limits, so buyers ask about the other driver's coverage and the claimant's own uninsured motorist coverage.
Traffic deaths in Georgia
The NHTSA FARS state table records 1,610 people killed in Georgia motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2023, the latest year this page treats as final. It counts deaths only, not injury crashes.
State Bar of Georgia rules on advertising and paid recommendations
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Georgia's rules on lawyer communications sit in Part Seven of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, published in the State Bar of Georgia handbook. The three rules that a firm buying car accident leads usually reads are:
- Rule 7.1, Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services (State Bar handbook).
- Rule 7.2, Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services: Specific Rules (State Bar handbook).
- Rule 7.3, Solicitation of Clients (State Bar handbook).
Rule 7.2 is where Georgia places the topic of paying for referrals: it bars a lawyer from giving "anything of value to a person for recommending the lawyer's services," then lists exceptions. The handbook lists disbarment as the maximum penalty under Rules 7.1 and 7.2. How the rules apply to a lead program is for the buying firm and its counsel.
What buyers in Georgia filter on
Georgia campaigns usually combine these fields, each tied to a rule above:
- Accident date: places the claim before or after the SB 68 changes.
- Fault answers and seat belt use: point to the claimant's likely share under section 51-12-33(g).
- Injury and treatment payment: health insurance or a letter of protection, under section 51-12-1.1.
- Representation status: removes claimants who already have a lawyer.
- ZIP code: buyers choose the exact ZIP codes their firms cover.
Where buyers filter in Georgia
Georgia buying desks set coverage by ZIP code, and most start from the metro areas their law firm clients already serve. These are the six largest Georgia metro areas in the Census Bureau's July 1, 2025 estimates; any Georgia ZIP code, inside or outside them, can be added to a filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details.

Consent records for Georgia car accident leads
Georgia has its own no call statute in addition to the federal TCPATCPAThe Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the federal law that governs telemarketing calls and texts, autodialers, prerecorded voice messages and the Do Not Call Registry. Glossary, so each car accident lead arrives with its consent record attached. Georgia's entry is in the state telemarketing laws table, and the broader view for MVA and home improvement buyers is on leads in Georgia.
