Fault Scenarios in Flatbed Truck Accidents
Understanding fault in flatbed truck accidents is key to knowing your legal rights and potential compensation.
Full Fault
When a driver, trucking company, or another party is fully responsible for a flatbed truck accident, they are liable for all resulting damages. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and property damage.
Partial Fault
If multiple parties share responsibility, compensation is divided based on each party’s percentage of fault. As outlined in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, your recovery is reduced according to your share of negligence.
No Fault
Certain insurance coverages, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may pay medical expenses regardless of fault. While Texas is a fault-based state, these policies can still apply in some situations.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. According to 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.
