Texas Law and Your Sugar Land 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, and nothing beyond 51 percent.
Federal rules govern interstate carriers' driver hours, maintenance, and inspections, and those records are key evidence. Texas generally allows two years to file, so acting quickly matters.
