Fault Scenarios in Sideswipe Truck Accidents
Understanding fault in sideswipe truck accidents is key to knowing your legal rights and potential compensation.
Full Fault
When a truck driver or trucking company is fully responsible for a sideswipe truck accident, they are liable for all 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. Your recovery is reduced according to your share of negligence.
No Fault
Certain insurance coverages, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may cover medical expenses regardless of fault, depending on the policy.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally.
