Who is Responsible for Premises Liability Accidents and Injuries in Katy, Texas?
One of the major attractions in Katy, Texas is the Katy Mills shopping mall, which boasts over 175 stores stretching across 1.3 million square feet of space. With retail stores, restaurants, activities, and other attractions that are operated by different entities, it may be a challenge to determine who may be liable for accidents and injuries caused by negligence at this or any other public facility.
Whether your premises liability incident and injuries were caused during a slip and fall on a wet floor, falling objects, ripped or torn carpets or damaged tiles, we must prove the store must have been aware of or known about the risk to customers.
The next thing to consider is where the accident happened, as it will determine which entity is liable for your injuries. For instance, if you are shopping in a retail store when the injury happened, we would pursue a claim against the store first, and secondarily, when appropriate, the mall. However, if you were hurt in one of the common areas of the mail, like a public restroom, parking lot, elevator, or escalator, we would pursue a claim against the shopping mall directly.
The mall owners have a legal duty of care to protect visitors on their premises from harm. This duty means that the owners are responsible for customer safety and are liable for anything that puts that safety at risk.
This does not automatically mean the mall owner or operator is liable for any injury that occurs there. But they are liable for any injury that happened because of a dangerous condition in their mall or a condition that should have been reasonably foreseeable to be dangerous.
If you have been injured on public or private property, contact our Katy personal injury lawyers to determine the best legal approach to pursuing damages for your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions for a Personal Injury Attorney Katy
What types of personal injury cases does Hollingsworth Law Firm handle in Katy, TX?
Hollingsworth Law Firm represents clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip and falls, workplace injuries, wrongful death, and more. We tailor our approach to the specific circumstances of each case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Katy,Texas?
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could make it so you lose your right to seek compensation.
What damages can I recover after an accident in Katy?
You may be entitled to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and, in some cases, future treatment or loss of earning capacity. Every case is different, and we can help evaluate your potential recovery.
How does Texas's modified comparative negligence law affect my claim?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you’re less than 51% at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident?
Seek medical attention first. You want to make sure all your injuries are taken care of. Then, if possible, document the scene, gather witness information, and avoid discussing fault. Contact a personal injury attorney at Hollingsworth Law Firm in Katy to protect your rights and begin your claim. The sooner you contact a personal injury the better.
How much does it cost to hire Hollingsworth Law Firm for my personal injury case?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only collect fees if we win your case or obtain a settlement. This allows injury victims to access legal help without financial stress. You also don’t have to pay us anything out of pocket; we get paid directly from the settlement.
Do I need a Katy personal injury lawyer if the insurance is giving me a settlement offer?
Yes. Insurance companies often offer quick settlements that undervalue your claim. A personal injury lawyer from Hollingsworth Law Firm can review your offer and negotiate for fair compensation that truly reflects your losses.
What evidence is needed to support a personal injury claim in Texas?
Helpful evidence includes medical records, police reports, photographs, witness statements, and documentation of lost income. The more detail you can provide, the stronger your claim becomes.
How long will it take to resolve my personal injury case?
Resolution times vary based on the complexity of your case and whether it settles or goes to trial. Some claims are resolved in months, while others may take longer. At Hollingsworth Law Firm, we prioritize both speed and fairness in every case.

Testimonials
Professional and Thorough
I used Steve Hollingsworth for a personal injury case following a car accident. He was very easy to work with and managed my expectations regarding costs, time commitment/duration, filing suit etc. Steve kept me informed during the process and always made sure I understand what everything meant. My case took about 18 months to resolve, ending in mediation after filing suit and he pushed hard to make sure my best interest was represented and to ensure that I had the best possible (and fair) outcome. I hope I never have a personal injury claim again but if I do, I would absolutely consult with Steve. He exceeded my expectations and made the process as painless as possible. I would high recommend him.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Pamela V.Attorney from Cypress, TX
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
Crystal H.Attorney from Houston, TX
I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. As an attorney, you do not often find yourself in the position of being a client. But because of someone’s negligence, my husband and I found ourselves in need of a personal injury attorney after my husband suffered catastrophic injuries. We were immediately referred to Steve, and we were so lucky we were. Steve is compassionate but also tenacious. We always felt that he had our best interest at heart and was fighting for us. We truly felt that he cared about our case. There was never a time that he was unavailable to talk to us, and always kept us well informed. He has the utmost integrity and also has a vast knowledge of the law. On top of that, his experience is top notch as he has worked on both the defense and plaintiff side. We knew Steve was always tirelessly fighting for us, and a year and a half after my husband was severely injured by a negligent driver, Steve got us a fantastic settlement. I recommend Steve without hesitation.
Madelyn L.Attorney from Houston, TX
Steve and I were colleagues, where we worked on complex personal injury and wrongful death cases. What I observed in the years we worked together is that Steve is not only extremely skillful in his profession, but he is a tireless student of the law, constantly working to perfect the art of practicing law. He genuinely cares about his clients and their cases and it shows. He has excellent work ethic. He is not only a terrific lawyer but also a great person. As a fellow member of the State Bar of Texas, I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a zealous advocate in a personal injury case.
Vivian E.Attorney from San Antonio, TX
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
Robin T.Attorney from College Station, TX
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven’s presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
James H.From Miami, FL
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
