Fault Scenarios in Premises Liability Cases
Understanding fault in premises liability cases helps determine who is responsible for your injuries and what compensation you may be entitled to.
Full Fault
When a property owner or manager is entirely responsible for unsafe conditions that cause injury, they are liable for all resulting damages. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, victims can pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Partial Fault
If both the property owner and the injured person share responsibility — for example, if the victim ignored warning signs — damages are divided by each party’s share of fault. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of negligence.
No Fault
In certain cases, accidents may occur without clear negligence by either party — for example, sudden hazards the owner could not have reasonably known about. In such instances, compensation may depend on specific insurance coverage or local ordinances.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by that percentage.
