Fault Scenarios in Commercial Truck Accidents
Determining fault in a commercial truck accident is often more complex than a typical car accident. Liability may involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, or vehicle manufacturers.
Full Fault
When a truck driver, trucking company, or another party is fully responsible for a commercial truck accident, they may be liable for all resulting damages. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and other losses.
Partial Fault
If multiple parties share responsibility for the accident, compensation is divided according to each party’s percentage of fault. Your recovery may be reduced by your share of negligence.
No Fault
Certain insurance coverages, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may help pay medical expenses regardless of fault. While Texas is a fault-based state, these benefits may still apply in some situations.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, you cannot recover damages if you are 51% or more at fault. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
