Pflugerville, TX Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
Pedestrian crashes produce some of the most serious injuries on the road, and their true cost unfolds over years. SMB Law, PC makes sure a Pflugerville victim’s claim is measured against a lifetime, not a first bill. A knowledgeable Pflugerville pedestrian accident lawyer makes sure long-term care, lost income, and permanent impairment are all valued before any settlement. Shane has handled Central Texas injury claims since 2003 and personally builds the claim around the full cost.
Pflugerville’s trails, school zones, and neighborhood streets feed into fast arterials and toll roads, and when a vehicle strikes a person walking there, the impact frequently causes catastrophic, lasting harm.
Where a Pflugerville pedestrian accident claim is handled
Pflugerville is in Travis County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Travis County District Clerk at the Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street in Austin — a few blocks from our office, where we appear regularly.
Catastrophic injuries and future-care damages
A struck pedestrian absorbs the full force of the vehicle, so the injuries we see in Pflugerville are often severe: traumatic brain injuries, spinal-cord damage, multiple fractures, and internal injuries that require surgery and long rehabilitation. Texas law allows recovery for past and future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.
The hardest part to value — and the part insurers most want to minimize — is the future. A brain or spinal injury can change what a person can earn and how they live for the rest of their life. We document that full trajectory with treating-physician opinions and, where the injury is lasting, expert testimony, so the settlement reflects what the injury will truly cost over time.
For a catastrophic Pflugerville injury, we often build the future-damages case with a life-care plan and a vocational expert. A life-care plan itemizes the surgeries, therapy, equipment, and in-home support the injury will require for years to come, while a vocational analysis measures how the injury limits the ability to earn a living. Together they translate a life-altering injury into concrete numbers a claim can be built on — the kind of proof that separates a serious settlement from a token one.
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.

On foot along FM 685
Pflugerville’s pedestrian risk concentrates where the city itself says it does: FM 685’s intersections, targeted in the municipal capital improvement program — and the January 2026 fatality at Pfennig Lane is the pattern’s grim proof. Add Stone Hill’s retail crossings and Pflugerville Parkway, and walkers face fast traffic daily. That public record of known danger strengthens claims about what drivers should have anticipated.
Injuries in Pflugerville often overlap with other collisions; we also represent people hurt in a bicycle collision, a collision claim, and being hit while riding, backed by our Austin-based pedestrian accident attorneys.
Frequently asked questions
Is FM 685 really that dangerous for pedestrians?
The city’s own capital program targets its intersections, and a January 2026 crash there was fatal. The public record documents the danger — which matters in a claim.
What can I recover after a serious pedestrian injury?
Past and future medical care, lost income and earning capacity, pain and mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment, among other damages.
The insurer offered a fast settlement. Should I take it?
Be careful. Early offers rarely account for future surgeries and care, and once you sign a release you cannot reopen the claim. A review first is worth it.
Where is a Pflugerville pedestrian case filed?
With the Travis County District Clerk at the courthouse on Guadalupe Street, since Pflugerville sits in Travis County.
Do I have to travel far to work with you?
No. Our office is only about 16 miles south and near the Travis County courthouse; we also work by phone and video.
