Operating a vehicle under the influence on Georgia highways can be an act of negligence separate from speeding, failure to yield improper lane change and other violations of the rules of the road. It can also enable the injured person to recover punitive damages to punish and deter the driver.

- Workers CompensationConstruction sites are inherently dangerous. Contractors and site owners are obligated by law to provide a safe environment for workers and others who are legally on the premises. In most cases the first available compensation is from the workers compensation coverage provided by the employer of the worker who is injured. Under the law the employer paying workers compensation can generally not be sued for negligence and pain and suffering. This immunity may also apply to other contractors and the owners of the construction site.
