Fault Scenarios in Car Accidents
Understanding fault in car accidents, rear-end collisions, or head-on crashes is key to knowing your compensation options.
Full Fault
If one driver is fully responsible for an auto accident, they may be liable for all resulting damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs.
(Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
Partial Fault
When multiple parties share responsibility, compensation is split according to each driver’s percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30% at fault, your recovery decreases by that amount.
No Fault
Certain policies, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may provide benefits regardless of fault, even in Texas’ fault-based system.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If a person is 51% or more responsible, they cannot recover compensation. Responsibility 50% or less reduces recovery proportionally.
