Can I still pursue compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

In many situations, yes. Texas uses a modified comparative fault system (proportionate responsibility). You may still pursue compensation if you are 50% or less at fault, but your financial recovery is reduced by your share of responsibility.

For example, if you are found 30% at fault and your damages total $100,000, your recovery could be reduced to $70,000. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. A Houston personal injury lawyer can present evidence to help keep your assigned fault as low as the facts support.
