Personal injury attorney serving Manor, TX
If a wreck on US-290 or SH 130 left you seriously hurt, the insurance company started building its case against you before you left the scene. You need a personal injury attorney in Manor, TX who builds yours. Key Trial Lawyers prepares every Manor injury claim for trial, and that preparation changes how insurers value your case from the first phone call. You talk to the lawyer running your case, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Manor is one of the fastest growing cities in the Austin metro. The population jumped 86.5 percent from 2019 to 2024, reaching roughly 21,300 residents in 2025, with projections pointing toward 44,000 by 2030. The roads have not kept pace with that growth, and the crash reports show it.
US-290 through Manor has become a known trouble corridor. Residents and city leaders have raised alarms about congestion, signal timing, and one intersection locals connect to repeated fatal crashes. Stretches of the highway lack medians and lighting, and serious wrecks, including semi truck collisions, are regularly reported on East US-290. Our Austin office sits about 14 miles from downtown Manor, roughly 20 to 30 minutes down US-290. Call (512) 861-1280 to talk directly with an attorney.
Why injury victims in Manor choose our firm
Insurers know which lawyers actually go to trial
Adjusters keep track of which firms fold and which firms file suit. We build each Manor case as if a Travis County jury will hear it, which forces the insurance companies to price your claim honestly instead of betting you will take the first low offer. That trial-first approach is the single biggest reason our clients recover full and fair compensation rather than a quick lowball.
You talk to your lawyer, not a call center
Your calls go to the attorney handling your case, not an intake desk. When you have a question about a settlement offer or a medical lien, you get the answer from the person making the decisions. That direct access matters when the medical bills arrive faster than the paychecks.
A selective caseload means real preparation
We take fewer cases so each one gets the investigation it deserves: crash reports, scene evidence, medical experts, and an economic analysis of what your injuries will cost over a lifetime. If a workplace incident or an employer dispute is tangled up in your injury, our Manor employment law team can evaluate that side of the case too.
Personal injury cases we handle in Manor
Personal injury law covers far more than fender benders. We represent injury victims across Central Texas in the serious cases that change a family’s life, and we build each one to prove exactly who caused the harm and what it will cost.
Car accident claims on US-290, FM 973, and FM 1100
Most serious Manor wrecks happen where commuter volume meets a highway that was not built for it. A car accident on US-290 often traces back to signal timing problems and unlit stretches, which make rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and nighttime wrecks common, and FM 973 and FM 1100 feed the same traffic. We pull DPS crash reports, 911 audio, vehicle data, and witness statements to prove exactly what happened and to counter the insurance companies when they blame you.
Semi truck collisions on East US-290 and SH 130
Semi truck crashes are regularly reported on East US-290, and SH 130 carries constant freight and warehouse traffic past Manor. When a commercial truck hits a passenger car, the injuries are usually catastrophic, and the trucking company’s response team is often at the scene before the tow truck. We move fast to preserve driver logs, electronic logging data, and maintenance records before they disappear, and we identify every one of the multiple liable parties a trucking case can involve.
Construction site injuries in a fast growing city
Subdivisions like ShadowGlen, Presidential Meadows, and the EastVillage development keep construction crews working across Manor, and falls, equipment accidents, and trench collapses follow that activity. Texas lets employers opt out of workers’ compensation, and injured workers at these non-subscriber companies can often sue the employer directly. We identify every path to recovery, including third-party contractors and equipment makers.
Premises liability, pedestrian accidents, and wrongful death
Unlit highway stretches without medians are dangerous for anyone on foot, and unsafe property conditions injure visitors every day. Premises liability holds property owners accountable when they ignore a hazard they knew about. When a crash or a fall takes a life, a spouse, child, or parent can bring a wrongful death claim under Texas law for lost income, lost companionship, and mental anguish. We handle these cases with the seriousness they demand.
Can I sue after a car accident in Manor, Texas? Yes, if another driver’s negligence caused your injuries. Texas gives you two years from the crash date to file, and you can recover damages as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. Manor cases are filed in Travis County district court in Austin.
What makes US-290 in Manor dangerous? The highway carries far more traffic than it was designed for as Manor’s population surges. Residents and city leaders have flagged congestion, signal timing, and an intersection tied to repeated fatal crashes, and stretches of East US-290 lack medians and lighting. Semi truck collisions are regularly reported there.
What should I do right after a crash in Manor? Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because concussions and internal injuries often surface days later and an early record ties them to the wreck. Photograph the vehicles and the road, get witness names, then stop talking to the other driver’s insurance company and call a lawyer.

What hiring a Manor personal injury lawyer costs
Every injury case we take is on a contingency fee basis. We advance the costs of investigation, experts, and filing, and our fee comes out of the recovery. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing, and there are no out of pocket costs to get started. A Manor family facing hospital bills and missed paychecks can hire a trial lawyer without writing a check.

You will learn what your claim may be worth, what it will take to prove it, and what to expect from the insurance companies. You decide whether to move forward with real information, not pressure.
Frequently asked questions
How much do personal injury lawyers charge in Manor?
We work personal injury cases on contingency, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover for you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, agreed in writing up front, and we advance case costs like experts and filing fees. If the case does not recover, you owe us nothing. The consultation is always free.
What is the average settlement for a personal injury case in Texas?
Be careful with any average. Settlement figures depend on the severity of your injuries, the medical care you need, lost wages, and how much insurance coverage exists, so a headline number tells you almost nothing about your case. A minor soft-tissue claim and a catastrophic truck wreck are both personal injury cases, and averaging them together is misleading. We value your claim on your facts.
Where will my Manor personal injury lawsuit be filed?
Manor is in Travis County, so injury lawsuits are filed in Austin at the Travis County Civil and Family Courts Facility at 1700 Guadalupe St. Larger cases go to the civil district courts, and cases under $250,000 can be heard in the county’s two civil County Courts at Law.
I was hurt in a semi truck crash on East US-290. How is that different from a car wreck?
Trucking cases involve federal safety regulations, driver logs, electronic logging data, and often several liable parties: the driver, the carrier, and sometimes a broker or maintenance company. Trucking companies send response teams to crash scenes within hours, so getting a lawyer involved early protects the evidence your case depends on.
What if the insurance company says I was partly at fault?
You can still recover under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible. Your award is reduced by your share of fault, which is exactly why adjusters try to inflate it. We push back with crash reconstruction and physical evidence.
