Frequently Asked Questions

✅ Round Rock Personal Injury Lawyer FAQ

Serving Injury Victims Throughout Williamson County, Texas

1. What should I do after a car accident in Round Rock?

If you’ve been in a car wreck in Round Rock—on I-35, SH 45, or a local road—prioritize safety and medical attention. Call 911 to report the crash, exchange information with the other driver, take photos, and request a copy of the police report. Then, contact a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and begin the claims process.

2. How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury—whether in a car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident—you may have a valid claim. An experienced Round Rock personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case for free and help determine if you’re entitled to compensation.

3. How much is my injury case worth?

The value depends on your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and the severity of your injuries. Round Rock injury claims vary, but victims often recover tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars.

4. What types of damages can I recover?

In a Round Rock personal injury case, you may be able to recover:

  • Medical bills (past and future)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Property damage

  • Emotional distress

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

5. Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offered me a settlement?

Yes. Insurance companies often offer lowball settlements that don’t reflect the true value of your injury. A Round Rock personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf and ensure you aren’t taken advantage of.

6. What is the statute of limitations in Texas?

In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Texas. This includes car accidents, truck wrecks, slip and falls, and wrongful death cases. Don’t wait until it’s too late to act.

7. Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you are not more than 50% at fault, you may still recover compensation—reduced by your percentage of fault.

8. What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?

You may be able to file a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). A local personal injury attorney in Round Rock can help you review your policy and pursue every available source of recovery.

9. What are common causes of car accidents in Round Rock?

Some of the top causes include:

  • Distracted driving (e.g., texting)
