After an incident near RR 620 or RR 620 corridor (one of the most congested roads in the region) in Lakeway, seek immediate medical care at a trauma center such as Baylor Scott & White Medical Center (Lakeway).

Most personal injury cases brought by clients in Travis are filed in the county district courts, with Travis County Civil Courthouse, 1700 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78701 serving as the principal venue. Each Travis bench runs its docket a little differently, and the local rules on scheduling, mediation, and pre-trial conferences vary from court to court. Our attorneys are in those courtrooms often enough that we plan around those rhythms rather than reacting to them.

The Lakeway medical network handling acute injuries from incidents like this one centers around Baylor Scott & White Medical Center (Lakeway), Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin, and Dell Seton Medical Center (Level I Trauma Center in Austin). Diagnoses we see again and again in these intake records include Deep puncture wounds and lacerations to hands, arms, and face, Facial scarring and disfigurement especially in children, and Infection complications including rabies risk. We work directly with the records departments at each of these facilities, which is part of why our timelines for assembling a medical chronology run shorter than what most clients expect.
