Kingsland Personal Injury Lawyers
Millions Recovered for the Wrongfully Injured in Texas
At KRW Lawyers, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial burden that comes with a wrongful injury. From medical bills to lost wages, the last thing you need after a serious accident is additional stress — and insurance companies are often quick to pressure injury victims into accepting less than they deserve.
Since 2006, our attorneys have advocated for wrongfully injured Texans throughout the Hill Country, including Kingsland and the surrounding Highland Lakes communities.

Ranch to Market Road 1431 is the area's most significant traffic corridor — a 66-mile route running from Lake Buchanan through Kingsland, Granite Shoals, and Marble Falls before continuing through Cedar Park to I-35 in Round Rock. That route carries a genuine mix of local residents, lake-area tourists, daily commuters, and commercial vehicles, and traffic volume spikes well above baseline during peak lake season.
Why this matters for your case: if your accident happened on RM 1431 or another Hill Country route, tell your legal team the specific location and time of year — seasonal traffic patterns can be relevant to how liability is evaluated.
Cases We Handle
Our attorneys represent clients throughout the Kingsland area in a wide range of accident and injury cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Boating and lake-related accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall and premises liability cases
- Wrongful death claims
Kingsland's location at the confluence of the Colorado and Llano Rivers — right where Lake LBJ draws heavy seasonal boating traffic — means our attorneys see a genuinely different mix of cases than a typical inland Texas town, from highway collisions on RM 1431 to lake-related boating accidents during peak season.
Common Types of Injuries
Personal injury cases in the Kingsland area can involve a wide range of physical and psychological harm, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Neck and back injuries, including whiplash
- Internal organ damage
- Soft tissue injuries
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD
Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen over time. Seeking prompt medical attention and legal advice helps protect both your health and your claim.
Texas Personal Injury Laws
Two Texas laws affect nearly every personal injury claim in Kingsland:
Modified comparative negligence — the "51% Bar Rule." Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33.001, you can still recover compensation if you're found 50% or less at fault for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — for example, 20% fault means a 20% reduction in your award. If you're found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.
Two-year statute of limitations. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003(a), you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas.
The Legal Process of a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Texas
- Initial Consultation — We review the facts of your accident, your injuries, and your legal options.
- Investigation — Our team gathers police reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions.
- Demand and Negotiation — We submit a formal demand to the insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement.
- Filing a Lawsuit — If negotiations fail, we file a formal lawsuit in the appropriate Texas court.
- Discovery and Litigation — Both sides exchange evidence and prepare for trial.
- Settlement or Trial — Many cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as though it will go before a jury.
Compensation Available to Injured Victims
A successful personal injury claim may allow you to recover both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
In cases involving especially reckless conduct, Texas courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar misconduct.
Insurance companies often attempt to undervalue claims — an experienced Kingsland personal injury lawyer can accurately calculate your damages and fight for full and fair compensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kingsland?
Generally, two years from the date of the accident, under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003(a).
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes, as long as you're found 50% or less at fault, under Texas's modified comparative negligence rule (§ 33.001). Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if my accident happened on the lake, not the road?
Boating accidents on Lake LBJ can involve different liability considerations than a standard car accident, including potential claims against a negligent boat operator or rental company. Speak with an attorney to understand how these rules apply to your specific situation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor accident?
Even seemingly minor accidents can involve injuries that worsen over time. An attorney can help you evaluate your rights and avoid being underpaid by an insurance company.

They are very familiar with workman’s comp as well. I would highly recommend them!”- Brittany E. (Google Review)

I had an excellent experience working with KRW Law Firm after my car accident. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a stressful time.

“I was involved in an accident, and I was referred to KRW (Scott, specifically). I had never used a personal injury attorney. I never had the need to. Scott explained the entire process and walked me through it. His first-hand knowledge of insurance companies is invaluable. The insurance company made an initial offer, and he got us 6X that. Not to mention, Scott and his professional team were a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don't have to use a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'm calling KRW. No question.”- Wes M.
