FAQ: Can I recover damages in a truck accident claim if I am partially responsible?

Yes, Texas law may allow you to recover compensation if you are 50% or less responsible for the crash, although your recovery will be reduced by your assigned percentage of fault.

For example, a person found 20% responsible for a truck accident involving $100,000 in damages could recover up to $80,000. A person found more than 50% responsible cannot recover damages.

Trucking companies and their insurers understand this rule. They may try to shift more of the blame onto an injured person to reduce what they must pay or defeat the claim entirely.

We examine crash reports, witness accounts, vehicle data, driver records, and physical evidence to challenge exaggerated fault allegations and establish how the collision actually occurred.

WE CARE. WE BELIEVE. WE FIGHT.

A workers’ compensation claim is not always the whole case.

On a construction site, the company responsible for a serious injury may not be the company listed on the injured worker’s paycheck. An outside contractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or other third party may have created the conditions that caused the harm.

That distinction matters. Workers’ compensation benefits and a separate claim against a negligent third party involve different legal issues and potentially different avenues for recovery.

We look past the initial explanation to identify who controlled the hazard, who ignored it, and who should answer for it.

Not every workplace injury is the result of a simple mistake.

Sometimes a company knows about a serious danger, understands the risk, and chooses to do nothing anyway.

That's where gross negligence enters the conversation.

It's more than carelessness. It can involve conduct that shows a complete disregard for the safety of workers, such as ignoring repeated safety violations, failing to address known hazards, or putting profits ahead of people.

When a catastrophic workplace injury happens, understanding the difference between ordinary negligence and gross negligence can have a significant impact on the case.

At Hamilton Wingo, we dig deeper than the incident itself. We want to know what the company knew, when they knew it, and why the danger was allowed to continue. That's how serious cases are built.

Some lawyers wait for a case to come to them.

Grant Boston starts preparing to win the moment it arrives.

Growing up on a Central Texas cattle ranch taught Grant that hard work isn't something you talk about. It's something you prove. Today, that same mindset drives the way he represents families facing catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, truck crashes, and workplace tragedies. He has helped secure some of Hamilton Wingo's biggest courtroom victories, including serving on the trial team behind the record-setting $7.3 billion wrongful death verdict.

At Hamilton Wingo, that's the kind of trial lawyer we believe every client deserves: relentless in preparation, unwavering in the courtroom, and committed to protecting families when the stakes couldn't be higher.

After a catastrophic workplace injury, one question matters more than most:

Was this preventable?

If the answer is yes, the next question is why.

Did someone ignore known hazards?

Were safety protocols skipped?

Did the company put production ahead of protecting its workers?

Those are the kinds of questions that can uncover evidence of gross negligence.

At Hamilton Wingo, we don't stop at what happened. We focus on why it happened and who should be held accountable. That's how serious cases are built, and it's how lives are changed.
