What if I am partly at fault for my truck crash?

Texas is a “modified comparative negligence” state. In Texas, you can still claim damages for a truck accident if you, the plaintiff, are not 51 percent or more at fault than the other party or parties. So, for instance, if you were found to be 30 percent at fault, and the truck driver was 70 percent at fault, then you would still be able to recover damages. However, you would receive only 70 percent of the damages you could have received if you were not to blame at all for the crash.
