If you were hurt in a car crash, truck wreck, or workplace accident in Garland, you need a lawyer who holds the insurance company accountable and communicates clearly — not a billboard firm that treats you like a file number. Attorney Rolando Quesada (Texas Bar No. 24083694) and the team at Guardia Law represent injured people across Garland and northeast Dallas County on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Call (214) 380-4000 for a free consultation. Hablamos Espanol.

Garland is one of the largest cities in the DFW Metroplex, with over 240,000 residents and some of the busiest highway corridors in the region. Heavy commuter traffic, industrial zones, and major interchange points at I-30, I-635, and the President George Bush Turnpike make this area a persistent source of serious collisions. If you were injured here, Guardia Law is ready to help.

Why Guardia Law for Garland Residents

After an accident, you are alone against a system designed to pay you as little as possible. You do not have to be.

Within hours of your accident, the at-fault driver’s insurance company assigns an adjuster whose entire job is to pay you as little as possible. That adjuster is trained, experienced, and backed by billion-dollar systems, technology, and resources with one goal: protecting the company’s bottom line. You deserve someone on your side who pushes back just as hard.

Here is what sets Guardia Law apart for Garland accident victims:

  • Aggressive representation from day one. We send preservation letters, gather evidence, and put the insurance company on notice before they have a chance to lowball you.
  • A real attorney handles your case. When you call Guardia Law, you talk to Rolando Quesada — a licensed attorney who has recovered millions for injured clients across Dallas — not a call center, not an intake coordinator screening files for a volume firm. Your case gets personal attention from an attorney who knows your name.
  • Bilingual service. Garland has a large Spanish-speaking population, and we serve this community in both English and Spanish. No translator needed, no miscommunication, no delays.
  • No fee unless we win. We work on contingency. If we do not recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. Zero upfront cost, zero risk.
  • We know Dallas County courts. Garland falls within Dallas County, and we handle cases in Dallas County district courts, county courts at law, and justice courts regularly. We know the judges, the procedures, and the local rules.

Guardia Law is based in East Dallas at 6301 Gaston Ave — less than 20 minutes from most Garland neighborhoods. We are not a statewide mill operation. We take cases other firms pass on, and we pursue them aggressively.

Types of Cases We Handle in Garland

Car Accidents

Garland’s position at the intersection of I-30, I-635, and the PGBT means tens of thousands of vehicles funnel through this city every day. Rear-end collisions on the LBJ Freeway, broadside crashes at Garland Ave and Northwest Hwy, and chain-reaction pile-ups on the Bush Turnpike are all common. If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents

I-30 and I-635 are major commercial freight corridors, and the industrial zones along Shiloh Rd and Centerville Rd generate heavy truck traffic within Garland itself. When an 18-wheeler rear-ends you at highway speed or a loaded delivery truck blows through a red light on Broadway Blvd, the injuries are catastrophic — spinal fractures, traumatic brain injuries, crushed limbs. Trucking companies deploy rapid-response teams to protect their interests within hours. You need a lawyer who moves just as fast.

Motorcycle Accidents

Garland’s wide commercial roads and highway on-ramps create constant hazards for motorcyclists. Distracted drivers merging onto I-635, running red lights on Northwest Hwy, or failing to check blind spots on Buckingham Rd cause devastating motorcycle wrecks every year. Texas law gives motorcyclists the same rights as any other driver on the road. We fight the bias that riders “assumed the risk.”

Pedestrian Accidents

Garland’s commercial corridors — Northwest Hwy near Firewheel Town Center, Broadway Blvd through downtown Garland, and the Centerville Rd retail areas — see heavy pedestrian traffic alongside fast-moving vehicles. Drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks or speed through parking lot intersections cause life-altering injuries to pedestrians who have zero protection on impact.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Property owners in Garland have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Wet floors at Firewheel Town Center, cracked pavement in apartment parking lots along Buckingham Rd, poor lighting at gas stations on Garland Ave — when a property owner’s negligence causes your fall, they are responsible for your injuries. Texas premises liability law holds landowners accountable based on the condition of the property and whether they knew or should have known about the hazard.

Workplace Injuries

Garland has a significant industrial and manufacturing base. If you were hurt on the job and your employer does not carry workers’ compensation insurance, you may have a direct negligence claim against them. Texas is the only state that allows employers to opt out of workers’ comp. These “nonsubscriber” employers lose key legal defenses, which often means a stronger case for you.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Garland

Garland sits at the convergence of multiple major highways and carries massive commuter traffic between northeast Dallas County and the surrounding suburbs. If you were hurt at any of these locations, call (214) 380-4000.

Interstate 30 (Tom Landry Freeway)

I-30 cuts across Garland’s southern border, carrying high-speed commuter and commercial traffic between Dallas and points east. The I-30/PGBT interchange is a high-collision zone where merging lanes, construction activity, and speed differentials between trucks and passenger cars create dangerous conditions daily.

Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway)

LBJ Freeway runs through western Garland and connects to Richardson, Mesquite, and North Dallas. The I-635/I-30 interchange is one of the most congested junctions in the Metroplex. Multi-vehicle crashes, sideswipes during lane changes, and rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic are constant hazards.

President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT)

The Bush Turnpike runs through northern and eastern Garland, connecting to Rowlett, Sachse, Richardson, and Plano. High speeds (70+ mph), long merging zones, and toll plaza transitions create conditions for severe high-speed crashes. Distracted drivers missing exits and making last-second lane changes are a persistent danger on this corridor.

Garland Avenue

Garland Ave is a primary north-south route through the city, running from downtown Garland through residential and commercial zones. Frequent driveway cuts, inconsistent speed limits, and heavy turning traffic make this road a hotspot for T-bone and left-turn collisions.

Buckingham Road

Buckingham Rd connects residential neighborhoods to commercial areas and school zones. The mix of apartment complexes, retail centers, and pedestrian traffic creates collision risks that are especially acute during morning and evening commutes.

Shiloh Road

Shiloh Rd runs north-south along Garland’s western edge and intersects with I-635 and multiple high-traffic commercial zones. Truck traffic from nearby industrial facilities, combined with commuter volume, makes the Shiloh/LBJ interchange area especially dangerous.

Northwest Highway (Loop 12)

Northwest Hwy carries heavy traffic through Garland and connects to the Firewheel Town Center retail area. Speeding, red-light running, and distracted driving through the commercial zones along this corridor contribute to a high rate of broadside and rear-end crashes.

Broadway Boulevard and Centerville Road

Broadway Blvd runs through the heart of Garland, and Centerville Rd connects to the eastern portions of the city. Both roads carry steady volumes of passenger and commercial traffic with multiple signalized intersections where failure to yield and distracted driving cause frequent collisions.

Serving Garland and Surrounding Communities

Guardia Law represents accident victims across Garland and the surrounding communities of northeast Dallas County, including:

  • Rowlett — East of Garland along the PGBT and Lake Ray Hubbard, Rowlett residents deal with high-speed turnpike crashes and lakeside road hazards. We handle Rowlett cases in Dallas County courts.
  • Sachse — A growing community north of Garland where residential development and increasing traffic volume on Sachse Rd and the PGBT are creating new collision risks.
  • Richardson — West of Garland along I-635, Richardson residents share many of the same dangerous highway corridors. Our East Dallas office is a straight shot down the LBJ Freeway.
  • Mesquite — South of Garland along I-30, Mesquite and Garland share the I-30/I-635 interchange and its constant collision hazards.
  • East Dallas — Our office at 6301 Gaston Ave puts us less than 20 minutes from Garland. East Dallas and Garland are connected by Garland Rd and I-30, making us one of the most accessible firms for Garland-area residents.

No matter which community you call home, if your accident happened in the Garland area, Guardia Law is ready to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Garland?

Nothing upfront. Guardia Law works on a contingency fee basis. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you. There is no retainer, no hourly billing, and no hidden costs. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after a Garland accident?

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Sec. 16.003). Some exceptions may shorten or extend this deadline. Do not assume you have time to spare — evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and surveillance footage gets overwritten. Contact us as soon as possible.

What if the other driver in my Garland accident does not have insurance?

If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own auto policy, you can file a claim against your own insurance company. We review your policy as part of every case evaluation to identify all available sources of recovery, including UM/UIM, MedPay, and PIP coverage.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Garland?

Call 911 and get a police report from the Garland Police Department (or DPS if the crash was on a highway). Seek medical attention immediately — do not wait days or weeks, because insurance companies use gaps in treatment to argue you were not really hurt. Photograph everything. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before talking to a lawyer. Then call Guardia Law at (214) 380-4000.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance adjusters routinely try to shift blame onto the injured person to reduce payouts — that is exactly why you need a lawyer protecting your side of the story.
