If you’ve been injured in a car or truck accident, the decisions you make early can affect your recovery and your case. Insurance companies move quickly to limit their exposure. Our role is to protect your interests, handle communication on your behalf, and present your claim with the preparation it deserves.
At Gary W. Johnson Personal Injury Law Firm, we represent injured individuals and families throughout New Orleans and Louisiana with professionalism, precision, and respect for the seriousness of every case.
If you were injured in a car accident, we help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. We handle communication with insurers and prepare your claim with attention to detail from the start.
Truck accidents often involve severe injuries, multiple insurance policies, and complex liability issues. We approach these cases with careful investigation and preparation, whether the claim resolves through settlement or litigation.
When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, Louisiana law may allow surviving family members to seek compensation. We handle wrongful death matters with care, discretion, and respect for what families are facing.
Your health is the priority. We connect you with qualified medical professionals and work with your providers to understand the full scope of your injuries.
We organize your claim into a comprehensive demand package that documents liability, damages, and the impact of your injuries. A well-documented claim strengthens your position during negotiations.
Many cases resolve before a lawsuit is filed. If an insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, we are prepared to file suit and advance the costs of litigation.
While trials are not common, we prepare every case as if it may be presented to a jury. This preparation strengthens settlement positions and protects your rights.
Before focusing exclusively on private practice, Mr. Johnson clerked at the Louisiana Supreme Court, where he analyzed complex legal matters and assisted in drafting recommendations for the Court. He has also served as general counsel for an international logistics and warehousing company, managing complex legal and business issues across multiple industries.
Prior to law school, Mr. Johnson worked in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Rules, contributing to research and policy analysis at the federal level.
This background informs a methodical, prepared approach to personal injury representation — one grounded in law, process, and accountability.

A personal injury case exists when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence — whether in a car accident, truck accident, or other incident. To pursue a claim under Louisiana law, we must show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care and breached it. During your free consultation, we evaluate the facts of your situation and tell you honestly whether you have a viable case. There is no cost and no obligation.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. If we file a lawsuit, our firm advances all litigation costs so you are never out of pocket. This is how we ensure that anyone — regardless of financial situation — can access quality legal representation.
