Fault Scenarios in Single-Vehicle Accidents
Understanding fault in single-vehicle accidents can help you understand your legal rights and the compensation you may be able to pursue.
Full Fault
When one party is entirely responsible for a single-vehicle accident, that party may be liable for the resulting damages. Victims may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and other applicable losses.
Partial Fault
If multiple parties contribute to a single-vehicle accident, responsibility may be divided according to each party's percentage of fault. For example, a driver may have been speeding while a dangerous roadway condition also contributed to the crash.
No Fault
Certain insurance benefits may provide coverage regardless of who caused an accident, depending on the circumstances and applicable policy. However, Texas generally follows a fault-based system for personal injury claims arising from single-vehicle accidents.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are 51% or more at fault, you generally cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001 governs proportionate responsibility.
