Texas' Modified Comparative Negligence Rule

The state of Texas has a comparative negligence rule that can result in some blame being placed on the injured party, thus limiting the amount of compensation that can be awarded. However, the defendant must prove that the injured party had some blame in the accident. Property owners may claim that the individual was in a restricted area, was not looking at their surroundings, or was behaving in such a way that it caused the accident. With a case evaluation from The Law Office of Carlos A. García, our legal team can develop a strategy that offers you the strongest case.
