Common Causes of Car Accidents in Burnet County
Whether you were hit on Highway 29, US-281, or a rural county road, the cause of your accident matters — and it plays a major role in determining who’s liable. Some of the most common causes of car accidents in Burnet County include:
Distracted driving (cell phones, texting, etc.)
Speeding or aggressive driving
Running red lights or stop signs
Failing to yield the right-of-way
Drunk or impaired driving (DWI)
Unsafe passing on narrow or two-lane roads
Poorly maintained roads or construction zones
Defective vehicle components (brakes, tires, etc.)
Every accident is different. We’ll investigate your crash, gather evidence, and determine how negligence or wrongdoing played a role in your injuries.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Burnet
If you were injured in a car accident, your health and safety come first. But what you do in the hours and days that follow can also impact your legal case. Here are some important steps:
Seek medical treatment immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
Document the accident — take photos of the vehicles, scene, and your injuries.
Get a police report from the Burnet Police Department or Burnet County Sheriff’s Office.
Don’t speak to the other driver’s insurance company until you speak with a lawyer.
Contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your options.
The insurance company will look for ways to minimize your claim. Our job is to make sure your story is heard — and your damages are fully accounted for.

Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Back and neck injuries
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
Internal injuries

We also represent families in wrongful death cases when a loved one is tragically killed due to someone else’s negligence.
What You May Be Entitled To
If someone else caused your accident, you have the right to seek financial compensation. We fight to recover damages such as:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Disfigurement and physical impairment
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage (total loss or repairs)
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Burnet County Roads Can Be Dangerous
Burnet County may be rural, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune from serious car crashes. In fact, some of the most dangerous roads in the area include:
US Highway 281 – A major north-south corridor with frequent commercial and local traffic
State Highway 29 – A busy east-west route connecting Burnet to Georgetown and Llano
FM 963 and FM 2341 – Scenic but narrow and winding roads where visibility and speed can be deadly
Highway 71 – A high-speed corridor near Marble Falls with a history of fatal accidents
We’re familiar with these roads and the common hazards they present. Whether your accident occurred in the city of Burnet, on a rural ranch road, or in the Hill Country near Inks Lake or Buchanan Dam, we’re here to help.
