Georgetown Traffic Accident Facts
In 2022, the most recent year with comprehensive data, 1,342 car accidents happened in Georgetown. Of these accidents, 406 resulted in nonfatal injuries for drivers and vehicle occupants. Three of these accidents were fatal.
While Georgetown is a small city with a population of 86,507, major highways run through it. I-35 cuts right through its center, and portions of state Highways 29, 130, and 195 cross town or skirt its boundaries.
Georgetown is also home to Southwestern University, as well as many major employers, including CelLink Corporation, Airborn, Inc., and St. David’s Georgetown Hospital. It is less than 30 miles north of downtown Austin, as many Georgetown residents commute into the city for work. These highways, institutions, and businesses all contribute to heavy traffic in the city – which contributes to accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do After A Car Accident In Georgetown?
The moments following a car accident can be confusing and stressful. First, ensure safety by moving to a safe location and checking for injuries. Call 911 to report the accident and get medical help if needed. Exchange information with all involved drivers, but avoid admitting fault. Document the accident scene with photos and notes. It's crucial to contact a reliable car accident lawyer in Georgetown promptly, who can guide you through reporting the accident to insurance and beginning the claims process. Our attorneys understand the nuances of Georgetown traffic to provide tailored advice.
How Does Texas Law Affect My Car Accident Claim?
Texas follows the “fault” system, meaning the driver who is found legally responsible for the accident must compensate for damages. Understanding nuances like the statute of limitations is vital; in Texas, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Our firm aids in maximizing claims by applying these laws contextually, ensuring compliance and a strategic approach to compensation pursuit.
Why Is It Important To Consult A Lawyer Before Settling With Insurance?
Insurance companies often aim to settle claims swiftly and for minimal cost. Consulting a lawyer before accepting any settlement is essential to ensure you receive fair compensation for all incurred damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At Michalk, Beatty & Alcozer, L.P., we conduct thorough assessments of potential compensation and advocate in negotiations, leveraging our local experience in Georgetown to your advantage.
