I was partially responsible for the accident that caused my amputation injury. Does this mean I do not have a case?
Not necessarily. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence code with a 51% threshold. You can share as much as half of the liability for the accident and still recover compensation for your damages. However, do not expect to be awarded total compensation for your suffering. Your amputation settlement will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of liability. If you were 25% to blame, expect your settlement to reflect a 25% shared fault deduction.
