Accidents are rarely simple. When multiple parties are responsible for causing an injury, the legal landscape becomes much more complicated. Determining who is at fault — and to what extent — is critical in making sure injured victims receive the compensation they deserve. At The Major Law Firm, we help San Antonio clients understand and pursue their rights in complex liability cases.

What Is Shared Liability?

Shared liability, or comparative fault, occurs when more than one person or entity contributes to an accident. This could include multiple drivers in a car crash, a business and a property owner in a slip-and-fall incident, or various manufacturers in a product defect case. In Texas, personal injury claims are governed by a “modified comparative negligence” rule.

Under this rule, you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found to be 20% at fault, your recovery would be $80,000.

Challenges in Multi-Party Claims

When more than one party is involved, insurance companies often try to shift blame and reduce their financial responsibility. This can delay your claim and create confusion around who is truly responsible. Thorough investigation and strong legal advocacy are essential in:

• Collecting evidence from all sources
• Identifying all liable parties
• Reconstructing the events
• Working with experts to prove fault

At The Major Law Firm, we are prepared to stand up to insurers and ensure that the full scope of liability is addressed.

Why Legal Help Is Critical

Dealing with a complex liability case without legal guidance can put your financial recovery at risk. These cases often involve multiple insurance policies, legal teams, and conflicting accounts. Having an experienced advocate by your side means having someone who can:

• Analyze the role each party played
• Protect your rights against blame-shifting tactics
• Maximize your financial compensation

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving multiple parties in San Antonio, don’t navigate the legal system alone.
