What do I do if the other driver caused the accident?

File a police report, document everything, seek medical attention, and contact a personal injury attorney. The at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for your damages.

How is fault determined in a car accident in Texas?

Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. Police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction can all help establish fault.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes, as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Texas's comparative fault law reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault.
