Manor US 290 Highway Accident Lawyer: Crashes Along the US 290 Corridor
Manor, Texas sits at the epicenter of the Tesla-driven economic boom in eastern Travis County. With roughly 15,000 residents and daily population gains from Tesla Gigafactory hiring, Samsung supplier corridor expansion, and the heavy freight traffic on US 290 and the SH 130 toll road, Manor produces a steady stream of catastrophic injury cases — particularly involving 18-wheelers, distribution-center workers, and the chronically congested US 290 / SH 130 interchange. McFarlane Law represents Manor us 290 highway accident victims throughout Travis County — fighting for the full compensation Texas law allows for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term impairment.
Dangerous Roads, Intersections, and Sites in Manor
US 290 carries a daily mix of commuter, freight, and Tesla/Samsung-supplier traffic through Manor. The corridor’s chronically high traffic volume, frequent acceleration/deceleration around exits, the SH 130 interchange, and ongoing development-driven construction make US 290 one of the most accident-prone highways in eastern Travis and Bastrop Counties.
Beyond the highest-risk corridors, Manor is served by US 290, the SH 130 toll road, FM 973, FM 1100, and US 290 East. Cases also originate in residential neighborhoods, school zones served by Manor Independent School District, and the properties of major Manor-area employers including Tesla Gigafactory Texas (just southwest of Manor), Tesla supplier facilities, Samsung-supplier distribution centers, Manor ISD, and a rapidly growing logistics and warehousing sector.

- 18-wheeler crashes — Tesla supplier, Samsung supplier, and Amazon freight

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a Manor us 290 highway accident claim?
Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, most us 290 highway accident claims must be filed within two years of the date of the incident. Some claims — against governmental entities, school districts, or the City of Manor — are subject to much shorter formal-notice deadlines that can be as short as 90 days. The earlier you involve a lawyer, the more options you preserve.
What if I was partly at fault for the Manor us 290 highway accident?
Texas follows a “modified comparative fault” rule (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33). As long as you are 50% or less at fault for the incident, you can still recover — though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. McFarlane Law fights aggressively to push back against unfair fault allocations from insurance companies.

No. We offer free, no-obligation consultations to every Manor us 290 highway accident victim. If you decide to hire McFarlane Law, we work on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation.
