Can I Still Recover Damages if I’m Partially At Fault?
Texas follows the comparative negligence rule, meaning plaintiffs can still recover damages even if they bear partial fault for the accident. However, this only applies if you bear less than 51% of the fault. Also known as the 51% rule, comparative negligence bars plaintiffs from seeking compensation if their percentage of fault is greater than the percentage that isn't.
It's important to understand that the total amount of damages awarded will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you bear 25% of the fault for the accident and receive $100,000 in damages, this compensation would be reduced to $75,000 (25% less than the original amount).

What to Look for in a Personal Injury Lawyer
Hiring a qualified personal injury lawyer is critical to recovering damages for medical expenses, lost earnings, property damage, and other losses. Sadly, many lawyers operate with little regard for the clients they are representing. Here are some key tips to keep in mind when seeking representation:
- Reputation: Evaluating reviews and testimonials from former clients can help you gauge a firm’s reputation and ability. Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. has an impressive track record of results, offering peace of mind that your case is prioritized.
- Avoid firms that promise immediate results: Be cautious of firms offering fast turnarounds or settlements within days. This is a clear sign that the final settlement may be insufficient to cover all your expenses.
- Ligation experience: Insurers typically know which firms lack the ability to handle a successful trial, putting plaintiffs at risk of being taken advantage of with lowball settlement offers. Partnering with a skilled trial lawyer can ensure your rights are protected even if your case goes to litigation.
Fortunately, Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. prepares every case for trial and has decades of litigation experience, empowering us to fight tirelessly for our clients in and out of the courtroom. No matter your case, you can rely on our firm to protect your rights while striving to deliver justice and results as quickly as possible.

Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
