What if I was partly at fault for the accident? Can I still recover compensation?

Possibly, yes. Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. You may still pursue compensation if you are 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility (for example, 20% fault = 20% reduction).

If you are more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. An attorney can work to limit the share of fault placed on you by presenting clear evidence and testimony.
