Is Texas an At-Fault or No-Fault State?

Who pays after a crash depends on the fault system your state uses.

At-fault (tort)

The driver responsible for a crash — and their insurer — pays for the resulting damage.

Comparative negligence rule
Modified comparative — 51% bar

A claimant recovers nothing if found more than 50% responsible. Below that, damages are reduced by the claimant's share of fault.

$2,500
