Fault Scenarios in Truck Accidents
Understanding fault in truck accidents helps you know your rights and what compensation you may receive.
Full Fault
When one driver or trucking company is entirely responsible for a truck accident, they are liable for all damages. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, victims can pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
Partial Fault
If responsibility is shared between drivers, trucking companies, or other parties, damages are divided according to each party’s percentage of fault. As per Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, your recovery is reduced by your share of negligence.
No Fault
In some cases, certain insurance policies, such as personal injury protection (PIP), pay medical expenses regardless of fault. Texas is generally fault-based, but these policies still apply.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. According to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, if you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If 50% or less, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault.
