Premises Liability Case Values in Texas (2026)

Texas Premises Liability cases in this dataset show a dramatic disparity between median and mean outcomes ($2.8M vs. $23.1M), driven largely by the outlier $65M verdict in the Injured Electrician case, suggesting that catastrophic injury cases involving commercial facilities can yield exceptional results despite Texas's generally defense-favorable jury pool. The concentration of significant verdicts in 2024 involving commercial and entertainment venues indicates plaintiff attorneys are finding success framing duty-of-care arguments against institutional defendants, particularly where the injured party is a worker or invitee on a business premises. However, the modified comparative fault 51% bar and Texas's non-economic damages cap of $250,000 continue to create meaningful valuation ceilings in cases where plaintiff conduct or damages are contested, as reflected in the lower-end $1.4M outcome in Hernandez.
