In Texas, the courts follow a modified comparative fault law. This that if you are found to be partially responsible for your accident, you may still be able to collect compensation minus a deduction. The court will determine how much blame each party shares. This percentage will then determine how much compensation you can collect. If, for example, the court finds that you were 20% responsible for the accident, you can collect up to 80% of the potential compensation. If the court determines that you are more than 50% responsible for the accident, however, you won’t be able to recover any money damages.
