Can I still file a lawsuit if I was partially at fault in an accident?

Yes. In Texas, you can still file a lawsuit and receive compensation as long as you are not more than 50% to blame. This is because Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule based on your proportionate responsibility. Your overall damages will be reduced based on your percentage of fault in an accident.

For example, say that you are awarded $100,000 after a motorcycle wreck but were found to be $25% at fault. In Texas, you would still receive $75,000 in damages.
