Round Rock sits where I-35, SH 45, and US 79 come together, and the interchanges that move commuters between Williamson County and Austin are also some of the county’s busiest crash locations. If another driver’s carelessness left you hurt on one of these roads, Texas law gives you the right to seek compensation for your medical care, lost income, and the ways the crash has changed your daily life.

⚠ Time-Sensitive: Texas Limits Your Window to File

Where Round Rock Car Accidents Happen Most
Williamson County’s Safety Action Plan, adopted in June 2025 as part of CAMPO’s regional safety plan, studied five years of TxDOT crash records from 2019 to 2023 and mapped where crashes cluster. Several of the intersections it rated for high or very high crash density are in Round Rock.

The plan also flagged I-35 between SH 45 and Old Settlers Boulevard and North Mays Street around University Boulevard as high-density segments. It lists A.W. Grimes Boulevard at Old Settlers Boulevard as a Tier 1, highest-priority location for signal, signage, and pavement marking upgrades. If your crash happened at one of these locations, nearby businesses or traffic cameras may have recorded it, which is one more reason to act before that footage is overwritten.
What Causes Car Accidents in Round Rock and Williamson County
Across Williamson County, speeding, failure to yield the right of way, aggressive driving, and distracted driving contributed to 80% of crashes in the plan’s study period. Nearly half of same-direction crashes were speed related, and more than 90% of angle and opposite-direction crashes happened at intersections, most often after a driver failed to yield.
Each crash type points to different evidence. A rear-end collision in stop-and-go traffic usually turns on following distance and speed, while a left-turn crash at a signal turns on who had the right of way. When a distracted driver is involved, phone records may become part of the case.

Getting Your Crash Report After a Round Rock Collision
The officer who investigates a crash completes a Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report, known as Form CR-3, and must submit it to TxDOT no later than the 10th day after the crash. You can request a copy through TxDOT’s Crash Report Online Purchase System once it has been processed. The report records the officer’s findings about how the crash happened, so it is often one of the first documents an insurer reviews.
Photograph the scene and your injuries, keep every medical bill and record, and do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before you speak with a lawyer. If a commercial truck or delivery van was involved, our Round Rock truck accident lawyers can also look at the carrier’s driver logs and maintenance records.
Texas Rules That Shape a Round Rock Car Accident Claim
Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule, so you can recover damages if you are 50% or less responsible for the crash, with your award reduced by your share of fault. Insurers in multi-vehicle I-35 crashes may try to spread blame among several drivers, which makes an early, careful investigation important.
You generally have two years from the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and families have two years from the date of death to bring a wrongful death claim. If the driver who hit you carried little or no insurance, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help cover the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Round Rock Car Accidents
Here are answers to questions people often ask after a crash in Round Rock.
Williamson County’s 2025 Safety Action Plan rated several Round Rock intersections for high or very high crash density, including I-35 at SH 45, I-35 at Old Settlers Boulevard, I-35 at US 79, and A.W. Grimes Boulevard at Gattis School Road, based on TxDOT crash records from 2019 to 2023.
The investigating officer submits a Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report (CR-3) to TxDOT no later than 10 days after the crash. You can buy a copy through TxDOT’s Crash Report Online Purchase System once it has been processed.
Texas law requires drivers to keep a safe following distance, so the trailing driver is often responsible in a rear-end crash. Fault can still be disputed, for example when a lead vehicle cuts in suddenly, so evidence from the scene matters.
Your own uninsured motorist coverage may pay for your losses if you carry it, and underinsured motorist coverage may apply when the other driver’s limits are too low. We can review both policies to find every available source of recovery.
You generally have two years from the date of the crash under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Narrow exceptions exist, but evidence fades well before that deadline, so it helps to start early.
