You may still be able to recover damages under Texas truck injury laws if you were partially at fault. Most states use comparative negligence which means that the contribution of each party is evaluated.  Under Texas proportionate comparative fault scheme, even a severely injured victim can be barred from recovering if they are found to be 51% or more at fault. If they fall under that threshold, their recovery can still be reduced in proportion to the degree of their fault. So, if you suffer $1 million in damages, and you are 40% at fault, your recovery will be limited to $400,000. If you are determined to have been 51% or more at fault for the accident, it will be difficult to recover any funds. Note that these rules do not determine your truck crash settlement, though the defense will consider it when making an offer. It's often less expensive for a trucking company to pay your full damages rather than incur the expenses of trial.
