Nothing in this post constitutes legal advice. Georgia generally applies a modified comparative negligence approach in apportioning fault in negligence actions. A plaintiff can recover his damages from a negligent defendant discounted by the plaintiff's percentage of fault; however, when the plaintiff's fault is greater than the defendant's the plaintiff cannot recover. So, where a plaintiff's injuries amount to $100,000, and the plaintiff is found to be 30% at fault and the defendant 70%, the plaintiff can recover in the amount of $70,000. If the plaintiff were 51% at fault and the defendant 49%, the plaintiff would recover nothing. Although Last Clear Chance is a doctrine more commonly associated with contributory negligence jurisdictions (where any negligence on the part of the plaintiff is a complete bar to recovery), Georgia preserves it and applies it both to the plaintiff and the defendant. Notwithstanding the comparative negligence rule discussed above, if a plaintiff, through the exercise of reasonable care, could have avoided the consequences of the defendant's prior negligence but failed to do so, he will be completely barred from recovery, regardless of the defendant's percentage of fault. Conversely, even though a plaintiff's negligence contributes to the incident, if the defendant had the last clear chance to avoid harm, but failed to do so because he did not exercise reasonable care, the defendant can be held liable to the full extent of plaintiff's damages (i.e., not discounted for plaintiff's degree of fault).
Georgia's last clear chance rule in its comparative negligence laws states that even if the plaintiff's negligence contributed to the accident, the defendant can still be held liable if they had the last clear chance to avoid the accident but failed to do so. This rule allows the plaintiff to recover damages even if they were partially At Fault.
To prove medical negligence, generally you must establish the following: 1) the existence of a doctor-patient relationship, 2) a breach of the standard of care by the healthcare provider, 3) a direct link between the breach and the patient's injury, and 4) resulting damages or harm suffered by the patient as a result of the negligence. This often requires expert testimony from medical professionals to demonstrate the deviation from the standard of care.
Common affirmative defenses in a slip and fall case may include lack of notice, comparative negligence (claiming the injured party was partly at fault), assumption of risk, and arguing that the property owner took reasonable steps to warn of or fix hazardous conditions.
Synonyms for acquit are: absolve, free, vindicate, exonerate, clear and discharge.

Clean and Clear :D
Most likely, yes. There is a slim chance, no. It takes about ten days for it to completely clear your system.
Three ways this can be resolved based on the state's negligence doctrine. The party who opened the car door could be placed 100% at fault, for not practicing due care when the opened on either a street or parking lot The party who drove by the opened car was 100% for not practicing safe distance between his vehicle and the vehicle that was parked when the car door was opened and may have had a "last clear chance" to avoid the accident Both parties contribute negligence at some percentage (example 50% to each) base on the agreement between the two insurance companies
