Fault Scenarios in Personal Injury Cases
Understanding fault in personal injury cases helps you know who is responsible and what compensation you may be entitled to.
Full Fault
If one party is entirely responsible for causing your injury, they are liable for all resulting damages. Victims can pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
Partial Fault
If responsibility is shared between parties—for example, if both the injured person and the negligent party contributed—damages are divided based on each party’s percentage of fault. Your recovery is reduced by your share of negligence.
No Fault
In certain insurance situations, compensation may be available regardless of who caused the injury. While Texas is generally a fault-based state, some policies, like personal injury protection (PIP), provide coverage regardless of fault.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If 50% or less, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, ensuring fair recovery based on each party’s responsibility.
