O.C.G.A. 46-9-3 (2010)
46-9-3. Showings required by common carrier as prerequisite to use of exceptions under Code Sections 46-9-1 and 46-9-2


In order for a common carrier to avail himself of the act of God exception under Code Section 46-9-1 or the contractual exception under Code Section 46-9-2, he must establish not only that the act of God or the contractually excepted fact ultimately occasioned the loss but that his own negligence did not contribute thereto.
