Lakeway Personal Injury Lawyers: Protecting Families Across Travis County
Lakeway, Texas sits in the heart of the Hill Country on Lake Travis — one of the most affluent and most-driven communities in the Austin metro. With roughly 20,000 residents, a permanent flow of lake recreation traffic, a Hill Country winery corridor running through the surrounding area, and the chronically congested TX 71 / RM 620 interchange anchoring its eastern edge, Lakeway combines high-value clients with a uniquely complex accident-risk profile.
McFarlane Law represents injured Lakeway residents in every category of personal injury — from car wrecks and 18-wheeler crashes on TX 71, to construction-site catastrophes on Lakeway’s growing skyline, to wrongful death cases that change families forever. We’ve recovered more than $100 million for injury victims across Texas, and we handle every Lakeway case on a contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Why Lakeway Families Choose McFarlane Law
Lakeway families turn to McFarlane Law for several reasons:
- Trial-ready preparation. We prepare every case as if it will be tried in front of a Travis County jury — which is what gets insurance carriers to pay full value at the negotiating table.
- Local familiarity. We know Lakeway-area roads, the dangerous corridors on TX 71, the Travis County courts where civil cases are filed, and the medical providers our clients see.
- $100M+ recovered. McFarlane Law’s track record across Texas personal injury, oilfield, maritime, and trucking cases speaks for itself.
- Direct access to the lawyer. Lakeway clients work directly with founder Zach McFarlane, not a rotating cast of paralegals.
- No fee unless we win. Every Lakeway case is handled on contingency.

The Lakeway Highway, Road, and Industry Profile
Lakeway is served by TX 71, RM 620, RM 2222, Lakeway Boulevard, and Bee Creek Road. The highest-risk corridors for serious injury crashes include the TX 71 / RM 620 interchange (one of the most chronically congested intersections in western Travis County), RM 620 through Lakeway and Bee Cave, Lakeway Boulevard, and the winding Bee Creek Road / RM 2244 connections to downtown Austin. The local economy runs on hospitality, healthcare, retail and service industries along the RM 620 corridor, and residential construction and landscaping in the Lake Travis area, and major employers — including medical and professional services tied to Baylor Scott & White Lakeway, hospitality and resort operations on Lake Travis, real estate, and a high concentration of remote-work and retiree households — produce a steady flow of work-related injury cases.
Landmarks across Lakeway include Lake Travis, Hurst Harbor, The Hills Country Club, World of Tennis, Lakeway City Park, and the Lakeway Resort & Spa, and the surrounding Travis County courts in Austin hear most of the civil cases filed for Lakeway residents.

Texas Personal Injury Deadlines That Affect Lakeway Residents
Texas’s general personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003). But several types of cases involve shorter notice periods:
- Claims against the City of Lakeway, Travis County, or any Texas governmental entity require formal written notice — sometimes as short as 90 days under the Texas Tort Claims Act
- Claims involving Lake Travis Independent School District school district vehicles or premises typically require notice within 90 days
- Federal Tort Claims Act claims (against U.S. government vehicles, postal trucks, etc.) require notice within two years on a different procedural track
- Workers’ compensation claims must be reported to the employer within 30 days and filed with the Texas Department of Insurance within one year
If you’ve been injured in Lakeway, do not wait. Even if your case is well within the two-year general window, evidence deteriorates rapidly. Get a free case evaluation from McFarlane Law today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Lakeway personal injury lawyer if my case is “small”?
Insurance companies routinely offer Lakeway accident victims a fraction of what their cases are actually worth. Even moderate-impact crashes can produce injuries — like herniated discs or post-concussion syndrome — that don’t fully appear for weeks. A Lakeway personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case for free, explain what your claim is worth under Texas law, and protect you from quick lowball settlement offers.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Lakeway?
Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 16, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Wrongful death claims are also subject to a two-year deadline. Claims against governmental entities (like Travis County, Lakeway, or a school district) require formal notice — sometimes within as few as 90 days.
What does it cost to hire McFarlane Law for a Lakeway injury case?
Nothing up front. We handle Lakeway personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation. Initial consultations are always free, and we advance case expenses (medical record retrieval, experts, accident reconstruction).
