Collectively, between residents and visitors, nearly 12 million people visit the city to enjoy the San Antonio River Walk. The River Walk, which runs along the San Antonio River, is a mix of shops, restaurants, pubs, museums, sculptures, theatres, river boats, historical sites — including the world-renowned Alamo — spas, hotels, gardens, a zoo, Sea World, parks, and other recreation and entertainment areas.

Frequently Asked Questions for Slip and Fall Accident in San Antonio
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?
After a slip and fall accident, your immediate priority should be your safety and health. Seek medical attention, even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Report the accident to the property owner or manager and document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from any witnesses. Contacting an experienced slip-and-fall accident attorney at Hollingsworth Law Firm can help protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.
How can a slip and fall attorney help me with my case?
A slip-and-fall attorney can provide invaluable assistance by investigating the accident, gathering evidence, and determining liability. At Hollingsworth Law Firm, our attorneys will handle all communication with insurance companies, negotiate settlements on your behalf, and, if necessary, represent you in court to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall accident claim in San Antonio?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including slip and fall accidents, is typically two years from the date of the accident. It’s crucial to contact Hollingsworth Law Firm as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within this timeframe.
What if the property owner claimed I was at fault for my slip and fall accident?
Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were found less than 51% responsible for the accident. Hollingsworth Law Firm will gather evidence to minimize your degree of fault and strengthen your case.
What factors determine the value of my slip and fall case?
Several factors can influence the value of a slip and fall case, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life and ability to work, medical expenses, and the degree of negligence by the property owner. At Hollingsworth Law Firm, our attorneys will conduct a thorough evaluation of your case to determine its value and work toward securing the compensation you deserve.
What if the slip and fall accident happened on public property?
If your slip and fall accident occurred on public property, such as a sidewalk or government building, different rules and timelines may apply. Claims against government entities often have stricter notice requirements and shorter filing deadlines. The experienced attorneys at Hollingsworth Law Firm can navigate these complexities and help you pursue a claim against a government entity.
How long does it take to resolve a slip-and-fall case?
The duration of a slip and fall case can vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and whether a settlement can be reached or if the case goes to trial. The attorneys at Hollingsworth Law Firm are committed to resolving your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

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.

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.
