- Personal Injury
On average, 575 million people are transported by elevators every business day in the U.S., according to the National Elevator Industry, Inc. statistics. While most of these trips up and down structures occur without incident, over 10,000 people are injured in elevator accidents each year, and another 25 are killed.
When building owners fail to maintain their facilities and the elevators that operate therein regularly, they may be held liable for injuries that occur on their property. Because many of these elevator accidents can be prevented by proper maintenance and timely repairs, our Hollingsworth Law Firm personal injury attorneys in Houstonfocus on pursuing the negligent party — or combination of parties — liable for our Texasclients’ injuries or the losses of their loved ones.

Sarah L.Former Client
I’m thrilled with my experience at Hollingsworth law firm. Mr. Steve and his team did an amazing job, I was discouraged about the outcome of my case after getting hit by a van in a parking lot and asking other lawyers. Who wouldn’t take my case but Steve put me at ease, he heard me and took care of my situation. He kept me updated through the whole process, answered all my questions and concerns. In a short period of time he called me with a settlement and I was more than happy with the offer.

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.

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
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.
