You Could Receive Compensation Even if You Are Partly Responsible
Texas is one of ten states with the highest average number of truck accidents. It is possible that the truck driver is 100 percent at-fault for the accident. Even if you responsible for part of the crash, you may still be eligible to recover for your medical bills, property damage, and other expenses.
How the 51 Percent Rule Works
Texas has a modified comparative negligence law which is often called the 51 percent rule. Here is how it works:
- If you are less than 51 percent at-fault for the accident, you may still pursue a claim from the insurance company for your expenses and losses.
- Your claim may be reduced by the percentage of your responsibility for the accident.
- You have only two years to file a truck accident lawsuit.
We Help with Insurance Claims to Make You Whole
Eighteen-wheelers, semi-trucks, tractor trailers may be called different names and serve many purposes, but they are all massive in size and weight. A fully loaded semi-truck weighs as much as 40 tons, ten times the weight of an average car. That is a part of why expenses and losses from truck accidents are generally significant. D. Miller & Associates, PLLC will help you recover from your injuries.
