Round Rock Stairway Accident Lawyer

Get medical attention first. St. David's Round Rock Medical Center is the closest level of care most Round Rock clients use for serious cases, and a written record from the date of the incident is one of the most valuable pieces of evidence we ever obtain. From there, document the scene with photographs, collect contact information for any witness who saw what happened, and avoid giving any recorded statement to an insurance adjuster until you have spoken with a lawyer. Broken ankles and legs from tumbling down stairs often takes days to fully present, which is another reason early documentation matters.

Most personal injury cases brought by clients in Williamson are filed in the county district courts, with Williamson County Justice Center, 405 Martin Luther King Jr St, Georgetown, TX 78626 serving as the principal venue.
