A crash on I-35 through Georgetown, on SH-130, or on a busy stretch of Williams Drive can leave you hurting and suddenly buried in insurance calls. SMB Law, PC helps injured people in Georgetown deal with the adjusters, figure out what a claim is genuinely worth, and pursue the recovery Texas law provides.
Georgetown sits at the north end of the metro’s I-35 build-out, where the highway meets SH-29 and SH-130 and traffic backs up in ways that produce serious wrecks. We know the roads, the hospitals your records will come from, and how claims from the Georgetown area tend to be valued by Williamson County adjusters and juries.
Where a Georgetown car accident claim is handled
Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, so if your case ever needs a lawsuit, it is filed right here at the Williamson County Justice Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Street. In practice, the large majority of car-accident claims settle long before that — the courthouse only matters if the insurer refuses to be reasonable.
The Texas rules behind your claim
A few rules govern nearly every Georgetown crash claim. You generally get two years from the date of the wreck to sue, so evidence should be locked down early. Texas also uses a modified-comparative-fault rule: being partly to blame only reduces your recovery, but being found more than half at fault ends it, which is why insurers work so hard to pin blame on you. And because the state’s minimum coverage is a thin 30/60/25, your own underinsured-motorist coverage often turns out to matter as much as the other driver’s policy.
Working with us from Georgetown

At SMB Law, PC you work directly with attorney Shane M. Boasberg, who has represented Texans for more than two decades. We explain things in plain English, give you a plan instead of more stress, and keep you informed from your first confidential consultation through final resolution.

Where would my Georgetown car accident case be filed if it does not settle?
In Williamson County, at the Justice Center here in Georgetown. But most claims never get there; they resolve with the insurer once liability and damages are documented.
How soon should I call a lawyer after a Georgetown crash?
As soon as you can. The evidence that wins a case fades within days or weeks on a busy corridor like I-35, even though the filing deadline is two years out.
Do I have to travel to Austin from Georgetown?
No. Our office is about 30 miles south on I-35, and we handle Georgetown consultations and updates by phone and video while you focus on recovering.
