§ 51-11-2. Effect of consent
Universal Citation: GA Code § 51-11-2 (2017)
As a general rule no tort can be committed against a person consenting thereto if that consent is free, is not obtained by fraud, and is the action of a sound mind. The consent of a person incapable of consenting, such as a minor, may not affect the rights of any other person having a right of action for the injury.
