What if I Am Partially At Fault for My Texas Slip and Fall Injuries?

In Texas, there is a statute called the modified comparative negligence rule, which will determine how an injury victim can recover if he or she was partially at fault for the slip and fall accident that occurred.

Keep in mind, most property owners, operators, and their insurance companies will argue that you share some amount of blame for your accident — even when it is not true.

If they are successful, a finding of shared fault reduces the value of your settlement or jury verdict, which is why it is important to partner with an experienced slip and fall attorney in Austin, so we can effectively counter their comparative negligence claims.

Most property owners will allege that injury victims:

  • Were using part of the property where visitors are not allowed or expected to use
  • Were distracted by their phone or other outside interference, causing danger to themselves
  • Were wearing footwear that was inappropriate or even unsafe for the situation

Other strategies to avoid paying for your injuries will include stating the dangerous condition should have been obvious or that reasonable steps were taken to protect visitors, including the application of signage or barriers.

If the property owner’s insurance company is successful in proving you shared any part of the blame for your injuries, the recovery amount will be reduced by the percentage of fault you shared.

For instance, if you were found to be 20% at fault for the slip and fall accident, your financial recovery will decrease by 20%, which would equal a $2,000 loss from a $10,000 settlement.

If they can prove you were more than 50% responsible for the slip and fall accident and its injury, you may not recover any compensation from the party you are pursuing.
