Fault Scenarios in Work Injury Cases
Understanding fault in workplace injuries helps you know your rights and what compensation you may be entitled to.
Employer Full Fault
If your employer’s negligence caused your injury—such as failing to maintain safe equipment or violating safety regulations—they may be liable for all damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
Shared Fault
If both the employer and the employee contributed to the accident—for example, if safety protocols were ignored—compensation may be reduced proportionally to each party’s degree of fault.
No-Fault Coverage
Certain workers’ compensation benefits may cover medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault. Texas workers’ comp is generally no-fault, meaning injured employees can receive benefits even if partially responsible.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Under Texas law, if an injured worker is partly at fault, benefits may be adjusted accordingly. If you bear more than 50% of the fault, recovery may be limited, while less than 50% allows proportionate compensation.
