Georgetown injury lawyer

The northern end of the corridor, the county seat, and a community with an older population than anywhere else on I-35 between the metros.

Demographics change the case

Georgetown has one of the largest retirement communities in Texas, and the median age here is well above the corridor average. That is not a footnote — it shapes both the injuries and the defenses.

Older claimants sustain more serious injuries from the same force. A fall that bruises a thirty-year-old fractures a hip at seventy-five, and the recovery arc is longer and less complete. Insurers know this, and they respond with the pre-existing condition defense: any prior degenerative finding on imaging becomes the argument that the crash caused nothing.

The defense you should expect

The eggshell plaintiff rule

Texas law is clear that a defendant takes the plaintiff as they find them. If a crash aggravates a pre-existing condition, the aggravation is compensable. Being older, or having had a prior back problem, does not reduce what you are owed for the harm that was actually caused.

Winning that argument in practice takes clean separation of before and after: prior records establishing baseline function, treating physicians who address aggravation directly rather than in generalities, and testimony about what daily life looked like before compared to now. Handled properly, these are strong cases. Handled carelessly, they are the ones insurers most reliably underpay.

Serious falls

Fractures, head injuries and mobility loss carry a different damages profile and often a permanent one.

Care facility injuries

Assisted living and nursing facility claims involve regulatory standards and sometimes arbitration clauses in the admission paperwork.

Where your case is heard

Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, so the courthouse is here on the square. I also serve Jarrell, Liberty Hill, Weir and Walburg.
