Comparative negligence in the state of Texas means that even if you’re somewhat at fault you can still recover money the law says that unless a jury determines that you were 51% at fault more than half at fault you can still recover monies. So how would that work let’s say that your damages your medical bills your economic losses and your pain and suffering equates to a million dollar. Let’s say a jury comes back and finds that you’re 40% at fall you can still recover monies and in that case you could recover $600,000 you deduct the 40% in fault if you were determined to be 51% at fault the state of Texas would say you don’t get anything so so long as your fault is 50% or less you can still recover the percentage of fall.
