Discrimination Law in Texas

Texas has its own distinct legal landscape that affects personal injury cases. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule — you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the incident. Texas also has specific caps on certain types of damages in medical malpractice cases, and a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims.

Key Texas Statutes

  • Two-year statute of limitations for personal injury (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 16)
  • Modified comparative fault — recovery barred if you are 51% or more at fault (Chapter 33)
  • Medical malpractice non-economic damage caps of $250,000 per provider, $500,000 for hospitals (Chapter 74)
  • Texas is a "fault" state for car accidents — you can file against the at-fault driver
  • Employers may opt out of workers' compensation — Texas is the only state that allows this
