24/7 Support. Pay Nothing Until We Win!
La Porte offers the charm of coastal Texas living, with its scenic neighborhoods, walkable waterfronts, and close-knit community atmosphere. Residents enjoy strolls near Sylvan Beach, jogs through neighborhood streets, and daily commutes on foot to local schools and businesses. But as serene as the city feels, pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern.
From industrial corridors to residential intersections, a single distracted driver can cause life-changing injuries in an instant. If you or someone you love has been hit by a car in La Porte, the aftermath can be overwhelming. You may be facing hospital stays, lost income, chronic pain, or emotional trauma. The Houston-based firm of Johnson Garcia is here to help you take control of your situation. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of Texas personal injury law, we’ll fight to secure the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
At Johnson Garcia , we believe your legal team should be just as committed to your well-being as they are to your case results. That’s why we approach every pedestrian accident claim with a balance of professionalism, compassion, and strategic intensity.
We bring more than 35 years of combined experience handling serious injury claims across Texas. Our background includes high-stakes pedestrian injury cases involving permanent disability, traumatic brain injuries, and contested liability. We know how to prepare claims that stand up to scrutiny—whether at the negotiating table or in court.
Your case matters. That’s why we don’t pass it off to inexperienced associates or case managers. From your first consultation through resolution, you’ll work directly with seasoned trial attorneys who take your claim seriously. We stay involved, responsive, and ready to answer your questions every step of the way.
Before we represented injured pedestrians, we worked inside the insurance industry. We’ve seen the tactics insurers use to minimize or deny claims—and we know how to dismantle them. That insider knowledge gives your case an edge, especially when facing aggressive opposition.
You shouldn’t have to worry about affording legal help during one of the hardest times in your life. Our firm works on contingency, meaning we don’t get paid unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront fees, no hourly billing, and no financial risk to get started.
While any intersection can become dangerous in the hands of a reckless driver, some areas of La Porte are particularly hazardous for pedestrians. These high-risk zones help shape the way we investigate your case and determine who may be responsible.
La Porte’s industrial footprint includes busy trucking routes and shipping corridors where pedestrian infrastructure is often lacking. Locations along Fairmont Parkway, Underwood Road, and Spencer Highway regularly see large commercial vehicles with wide turning radii and limited visibility. When drivers in these areas are distracted or fatigued, the risk to pedestrians increases dramatically.
Accidents in industrial zones may also involve commercial liability, depending on whether the driver was on duty or if company policies contributed to unsafe behavior. Our firm investigates these angles thoroughly to determine if employers or property owners share the blame.
High-traffic areas near La Porte High School and College Park Elementary create another layer of risk. Morning drop-offs and afternoon pickups can lead to rushed driving, inattentive turns, and failure to yield—especially when school zone signs are ignored or traffic laws are violated.
We frequently handle cases involving pedestrians struck in crosswalks, near stop signs, or within flashing school zones. In these cases, quick investigation is key. Surveillance footage, traffic light timing, and school district policies may all become relevant pieces of evidence.
Waterfront areas like Sylvan Beach Park and the nearby marina bring heavy pedestrian activity, particularly on weekends and holidays. Unfortunately, this also attracts out-of-town drivers who may be unfamiliar with the area or distracted by parking, navigation, or social gatherings.
Pedestrian injuries near beaches often occur in parking lots, at entrance roads, or when drivers back up without checking their surroundings. If alcohol is involved, there may also be grounds for pursuing punitive damages. These cases require a nuanced approach that accounts for local traffic flow and any event-related congestion.
Pedestrian injury cases are rarely simple. They involve layers of evidence, multiple parties, and often aggressive insurance companies looking to minimize payouts. At Johnson Garcia , we apply a thorough and battle-tested strategy to every case—because that’s what it takes to win meaningful results.
Timing is everything in the aftermath of a pedestrian accident. We move quickly to gather crash reports, secure surveillance footage, and interview witnesses while the details are still fresh. When possible, we request cell phone records and vehicle black box data to show whether the driver was distracted, speeding, or failed to brake in time.
We also conduct site inspections to document road conditions, signage, lighting, and any visibility issues. These details can make a significant difference when it comes to assigning liability and countering the insurance company’s version of events.
To fully understand the impact of your injuries—and to prove them in court if necessary—we work with an experienced network of specialists. These include orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, physical therapists, and mental health professionals who can speak to your prognosis and future medical needs.
For complex liability questions, we may bring in accident reconstructionists who use physics and evidence to explain exactly how the crash occurred. Financial experts help us calculate lost income, reduced earning capacity, and the economic value of your long-term care needs.
We leave no room for doubt when it comes to proving your losses.
Dealing with insurance adjusters can be exhausting—and dangerous to your claim. Saying the wrong thing on a recorded call or accepting an early settlement offer could limit your compensation permanently. That’s why we handle every single communication with the insurance companies involved.
We also manage all legal filings, court deadlines, and procedural requirements—especially important if your case involves a claim against a public agency or third party. You never have to wonder if something has been missed or forgotten. We keep you updated at every step, but we do the heavy lifting so you can focus on recovery.
The purpose of a personal injury claim is to make you financially whole. But after a pedestrian accident, that means more than covering your ER visit. Johnson Garcia fights to recover both economic and non-economic damages so you can rebuild your life.
Emergency treatment is just the beginning. Many pedestrian victims require surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medical devices, and long-term follow-up care. You may need medication for chronic pain or ongoing treatment for psychological trauma.
We calculate not just what you’ve already paid but what your future medical needs will be. Then we demand that the responsible parties cover every penny.
If your injuries forced you to miss work—or if you can’t return to your previous job at all—you’re entitled to compensation for those lost earnings. That includes not only wages already missed but also reduced earning capacity over the course of your career.
Whether you’re a teacher who can’t stand for long hours or a laborer who can no longer lift, your injury matters. We work with economists to accurately project your losses and build a case that reflects the full financial impact.
Not all injuries are visible. Many of our clients struggle with depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and chronic pain long after the accident. Others lose the ability to enjoy hobbies, social activities, or time with family the way they used to.
Texas law allows for compensation for these non-economic damages, and we take them seriously. We’ll document your personal experience and work with therapists or other specialists if needed to show the true toll the accident has taken on your life.
Delaying legal action can harm your claim in ways you may not realize until it’s too late. Calling an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible gives you the best shot at a strong case.
Security footage is often erased within days. Witness memories fade. Skid marks disappear, and weather can alter the scene. The sooner you get legal representation, the sooner we can lock down critical evidence.
Insurers will often reach out quickly after an accident. They may seem friendly, but their goal is to settle your case cheaply or gather information that weakens your claim. When you have a lawyer, they’re legally required to speak with us instead of you—protecting your rights from day one.
Texas law gives you two years to file a personal injury claim—but that doesn’t mean you should wait until the last minute. Preparing a solid case takes time, especially if expert testimony or litigation is involved. Calling a lawyer right away ensures your case moves forward on the right timeline, with no missed opportunities.
You don’t have to face this process alone. At Johnson Garcia , we’ve helped clients all across Texas—including in La Porte—recover compensation after devastating pedestrian accidents. We understand the stakes. We’ve seen the toll these injuries take. And we’re ready to stand by your side from day one.
Your consultation is completely free, and you won’t pay a dime unless we win your case. Whether you were injured walking near the ship channel, a residential street, or a busy intersection, we’re here to listen, investigate, and fight for the justice you deserve.
