Commercial Ins. Co. of Newark, New Jersey v. Puente, Tex.Civ.App., 535 S.W.2d 948, 957@ partial limitationProvision found in some insurance policies in which the insurer agrees to pay a total loss if the actual loss exceeds a certain amount@ partial lossA loss of a part of a thing or of its value, or any damage not amounting (actually or constructively) to its entire destruction; as contrasted with total loss. Partial loss is one in which the damage done to the thing insured is not so complete as to amount to a total loss, either actual or constructive. In every such case the underwriter is liable to pay such proportion of the sum which would be payable on total loss as the damage sustained by the subject of insurance bears to the whole value at the time of insurance. Partial loss implies a damage sustained by the ship or cargo, which falls upon the respective owners of the property so damaged; and, when happening from any peril insured against by the policy, the owners are to be indemnified by the underwriters, unless in cases excepted by the express terms of the policy+ partial loss????Exists where an injury results to a vessel from a peril insured against, but where the loss is neither actually nor constructively total.See also actual total loss@- partial payment@ partial releaseClause in blanket mortgage directing mortgagee to release specified parcels from lien upon payment of certain sum@- partial taking (See also eminent domain)- partial verdict
