Payton Bramlett (Atlanta, GA) (Automobile Liability) recently received a defense judgment in the case of Jennifer McCord v. Lauren Wilson in Fulton County Magistrate Court, which is a plaintiff-friendly jurisdiction. This suit stemmed from a T-bone automobile accident in the driveway of an automobile dealership. Plaintiff attempted to make a left turn when two lanes of travel yielded the right of way to allow her to turn, even though her vision of oncoming traffic in the turn lane was obstructed by a tractor trailer. Even though the Defendant was cited for driving through a safety zone, the judge found that the Plaintiff was at least as negligent as the Defendant in causing the accident pursuant to Georgia’s modified comparative negligence statute and returned a judgment in favor of the Defendant.
