Texas Law and Your Arlington Claim
Texas follows modified comparative negligence, called proportionate responsibility: you can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share. Beyond 51 percent, you recover nothing.
Interstate carriers must follow federal rules on driver hours, maintenance, and inspections, and the records they generate are key evidence. Texas generally allows two years to file, so acting quickly matters.
