Who is Responsible for Boating Accidents in League City, Texas?
League City is the third largest boating anchorage in the United States, which makes boating a common occurrence within the city’s just over 50 square miles.
Unfortunately, just as more vehicles on our roadways lead to more crashes, more boats increase the chances of negligent boaters frequenting our waterways.
Some of the most common causes of boat accidents in League City include, but are not limited to:
Capsizing and/or Sinking
Colliding with Other Vessels or Objects
Dangerous Weather Conditions
Distracted Operation of a Boat
Electrocutions from Stray Currents
Excessive Speed
Falls Overboard
Fires or Explosions
Force of Waves/Wake
Lack of Lifejackets and/or Safety Gear
Mechanical or Equipment Failures
Navigational Errors
Obstructed Vision
Operating a Vessel While Impaired
Overloading the Vessel
Propeller Accidents
Running Aground
Sharp Turns
Slips and Falls Aboard the Vessel
Standing or Sitting in Unauthorized Areas
When these accidents occur on the water, they can lead to catastrophic injuries or even wrongful deaths, as emergency crews have multiple obstacles identifying, locating, and reaching boat collision victims.
Depending on the details of the collision, there may be one party, or multiple parties, liable for the injured party or the surviving family’s recovery needs.
That may include:
Boat Crews
Boat Maintenance Companies
Boat Manufacturers
Boat Operators
Boat Owners
Boat Rental Companies
Third-Party Boat Operators or Owners

Frequently Asked Questions for Personal Injury Accident in League City
If I’m only feeling a little sore after an accident should I still get medical attention?
Yes, it is important to seek medical attention after an accident, even if you only feel a little sore. This is because some injuries may not show symptoms right away and may become more severe over time if left untreated.
What is a request for production?
A request for production is a legal document used in the discovery process of a lawsuit. It is a formal written demand for the production of documents or other tangible items that are relevant to the case and within the possession, custody, or control of the party receiving the request. The purpose of a request for production is to allow parties in a lawsuit to obtain information and evidence that may be necessary to support their claims or defenses. The requested documents may include things like contracts, financial records, emails, correspondence, or other relevant materials.
What is a subpoena?
A subpoena is a legal document that commands a person or organization to produce documents, information, or testimony for use in a legal proceeding. The subpoena can be issued by a court, an attorney, or an administrative agency and can be used in both civil and criminal cases.
Are personal injury lawsuits public records?
In Texas, personal injury lawsuits are generally considered public records and are available to the public. This means that anyone can access court records related to a personal injury case, including pleadings, motions, orders, and other court documents. Some information like the names of minors may be kept confidential. Other information such as trade secrets and sensitive information may also be kept confidential.
How do you get compensation for injuries that will require future medical attention?
While it is possible to get compensation for your future medical bills it can be difficult to accurately predict the amount of compensation you would need. It is in your best interest to speak to medical professionals who can help you evaluate what future medical procedures you may need. With these numbers your League City personal injury lawyer can help negotiate fair compensation.
Is mediation an option in personal injury cases?

If the other party admitted fault at the scene of the accident how can I use that in court?

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.
