What a Texas Wedding & Event Venue Injury Case Looks Like
Wedding and event venue injuries in Texas affect guests, vendors, staff, and contractors at the wedding venues, distilleries, wineries, and event spaces that have made Texas a regional destination. Liability is often layered — the venue, the event host, the alcohol-serving vendor, equipment rental companies, and even the wedding planner may all share responsibility for serious injuries.
Common Causes of Texas Wedding & Event Venue Injury Cases
McFarlane Law’s Texas wedding & event venue injury caseload reflects a consistent set of root causes:

- Tent and structure collapses
- Negligent security at receptions
- Alcohol over-service (Texas dram-shop liability under TABC Chapter 2)
- Drunk driving by guests after a venue event
- Food poisoning from caterer negligence
- Falling decorations, lighting rigs, or sound equipment
- Fire and burn injuries from sparklers, candles, or fireworks

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a Texas wedding & event venue injury claim?
Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, most wedding & event venue injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the incident. Some claims (against governmental entities or with special procedural rules) have shorter formal-notice deadlines. The sooner a Texas lawyer is involved, the more options you preserve.
What if I was partly at fault for the wedding & event venue injury?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33). As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover compensation — though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Does McFarlane Law handle wedding & event venue injury cases outside Austin?
Yes. We represent Texas wedding & event venue injury clients across the state — including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, the Permian Basin, and rural Texas counties.
