Round Rock, TX Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
A person on foot has no protection when a driver fails to yield, and the injuries are often severe. If a vehicle struck you in a Round Rock crosswalk or parking lot, SMB Law, PC pursues the driver who did not stop and the full recovery Texas law allows. A Round Rock pedestrian accident lawyer who moves quickly can secure the intersection video and witness statements that prove what really happened. Shane M. Boasberg has represented injured Texans for over twenty years and works each case personally.
Round Rock’s busiest pedestrian conflicts happen where shoppers and commuters cross wide arterials near the Premium Outlets, along Louis Henna Boulevard, and at the I-35 frontage roads, where a turning driver who is watching for cars rolls straight through a person in the crosswalk.
Where a Round Rock pedestrian accident claim is handled
Round Rock sits primarily in Williamson County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown. Most claims settle with the insurer before suit, but we prepare each one for trial because that is what earns a serious offer.
Crosswalks and the right-of-way rules that decide fault
Texas law gives pedestrians the right of way in many situations, and the fault analysis usually starts there. Under the Transportation Code, a driver must yield to a pedestrian who is lawfully in a crosswalk on the driver’s half of the road, and drivers turning at a green light must yield to people already crossing with the signal. Pedestrians have duties too — obeying walk signals and not stepping suddenly into traffic — but a driver’s failure to yield is the most common cause of the Round Rock crashes we handle.
Pinning down exactly who had the right of way, and proving it, is the core of the case. We reconstruct the crossing from the crash report, signal timing, video, and witness accounts so the driver cannot rewrite what happened at the curb.
One point surprises many people: in Texas a legal crosswalk exists at virtually every intersection, whether or not it is painted. The lines on the pavement do not create the crosswalk — the intersection does — so a driver’s duty to yield can apply even at an unmarked Round Rock corner. When an insurer claims ‘there was no crosswalk,’ we look at where the crossing actually occurred and what the law says about that spot, which frequently changes the fault picture entirely.
Decades of Texas injury experience on your side
Pedestrian cases turn on details, and details reward experience. You work directly with attorney Shane M. Boasberg, who has represented injured Texans for more than two decades and has been licensed by the State of Texas since 2003. He knows how Central Texas insurers value pedestrian claims, how local juries weigh fault, and how to answer the reflexive argument that the pedestrian ‘stepped out without warning.’ You get a lawyer who has done this many times — not a case manager reading from a script.

Walking Round Rock’s corridors
The same corridor that tops Round Rock’s crash data threatens walkers most: Louis Henna Boulevard carries three of Texas’s 50 most dangerous intersections, led by A.W. Grimes at #3 statewide with 53 crashes in 2025. Add the retail crossings around the outlets and Kalahari, and pedestrians face fast traffic with long gaps between signals.
Drivers owe walkers the right of way at crossings; when they take it, fault is rarely the fight — full damages are, and that’s where counsel earns it.
A serious crash in Round Rock rarely fits a single label — SMB Law, PC also handles a bicycle collision, a collision claim, and being hit while riding, and you can learn more from our Austin pedestrian accident attorneys.
Frequently asked questions
Where are pedestrians most at risk in Round Rock?
The Louis Henna corridor’s high-crash intersections and the retail crossings around the outlets — the same locations on Texas’s top-50 crash list.
Does the driver have to yield to me in a crosswalk?
Often, yes. Texas requires drivers to yield to a pedestrian lawfully in a crosswalk on the driver’s half of the road, and turning drivers must yield to people crossing with the signal.
The driver says I stepped out suddenly. Can I still recover?
Usually. Texas reduces recovery by your share of fault and bars it only above 50%. We gather the evidence that answers the ‘stepped out’ defense.
How long do I have to file in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of the crash, so it is best to involve a lawyer while evidence and camera footage still exist.
Do I have to travel to your office from Round Rock?
No. Our office is about 20 miles south on I-35, and we handle Round Rock consultations and updates by phone and video.
