If I have been partially guilty of the truck accident, can I win the lawsuit?

It depends on the degree of your fault. There is a legislative doctrine known as "Comparative Negligence" which assesses the responsibility of all those involved and determines percentages of failure to adjust the damages that must be paid. If your carelessness was 50 or 51%, depending on the state, you do not recover anything.
