    About Austin, Texas

    Austin, located in Central Texas, is the thirteenth most populous city in the United States and the fourth most populous city in all of Texas with 820,611 residents as of the 2011 U.S. Census. Austin is the home to many Fortune 500 companies, and "Austinites" are a diverse mixture of government employees, foreign and domestic college students, blue collar workers, high-tech workers and white collar workers. Austin is also known as the "Silicon Hills" as well as the "Live Music Capital of the World." As of 2010, Austin occupied 271.8 square miles with 6.9 square miles of the area consisting of water.

    The beautiful city of Austin is situated on the Colorado River, with three artificial lakes including: Lady Bird Lake, Lake Austin and Lake Walter E. Long. Due to Austin's tendency to be a hot green oasis in the warm summer months, these lakes provide the perfect locale for all sorts of water-related recreational activities including boating, swimming and jet skiing. In addition to Austin's lakes, the Austin-founded American Swimming Association hosts an open water swimming event, the Cap 2 K, and other open water, closed course and cable swim races. 

    Considering the city's inclination for water-related recreational activities, it's safe to assume that a certain proportion of drowning accidents would occur. When innocent men, women and children are involved in a drowning or near drowning accident, an Austin drowning lawyer from The Doan Law Firm, P.C. is available to handle all of the legal aspects of a drowning accident case.
