DFW – at 17,207 acres (27 square miles) — is larger than the island of Manhattan, and it is the second largest airport by land area in the U.S., after Denver International Airport.

Modified Comparative Negligence Laws in Texas

In calculating damages/compensation, Texas uses a modified comparative negligence formula (also known as “proportionate responsibility”). This means that if you are found partially at fault for causing the injury accident, your damages will be reduced proportionately. If you are more than 50% responsible for the accident, the law does not allow you to seek compensation for your losses.

For example, if you were running and shoving other passengers when you slipped on a wet floor in an airport, then the court might find that you were 10% responsible for the accident and the airport operator was 90% responsible. If the total payout awarded was $200,000, then the amount you receive would be reduced by 10% (you would receive $180,000).

In another example, if a flight attendant spilled hot coffee on you during turbulence on an airplane, but the “fasten seatbelt” sign was on and you got up and moved around anyway – then a court could find you were partially at fault for your injury accident and your compensation would be reduced.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve been injured in an airport accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation, including economic and non-economic damages. These include:

Economic

• Lost wages
• Loss of future earnings
• Medical and hospital bills
• Future medical care and rehabilitation
• Property damages

Non-Economic

• Pain and suffering
• PTSD and emotional distress
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of consortium (spouse files suit)
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In some cases, but not all, a judge can also award punitive damages (sometimes called “exemplary damages”) to punish a defendant for their careless disregard for the safety of others.
