Texas operates under a “modified comparative fault” system, which means your compensation can be reduced based on your percentage of fault in causing the accident. For instance, if you are awarded $100,000 and found 20 percent at fault, you can only recover 80 percent of your award or $80,000. However, if you are more than 50 percent to blame, you cannot receive any compensation.
