Your Gessner & Westpark Accident Questions Answered
What makes the Gessner & Westpark corridor dangerous?
Gessner Road runs north-south through Houston’s densely populated southwest side, crossing major arterials including Westheimer, Westpark, and Richmond. The Westpark Tollway’s entrance and exit ramps near Gessner create merge conflicts. Heavy commercial traffic on both corridors adds to crash risk.
What if my crash happened near the Westpark Tollway entrance?
Westpark Tollway entrance and exit ramps create high-speed merging conflicts with local traffic. If toll plaza design or signage contributed to your crash, HCTRA may share liability. We investigate both HCTRA and the at-fault driver.
How is fault determined in an urban corridor crash in Houston?
Texas uses modified comparative fault — each party is assigned a percentage of fault. Even if you bear partial fault, you can recover as long as you are 50% or less responsible. We present evidence minimizing your fault assignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who maintains Gessner Road in Houston?
Gessner Road is a City of Houston maintained road. TxDOT has jurisdiction over the Westpark Tollway. Road defect claims require identifying the correct maintenance authority — we investigate this as part of every case.
What if I was hit while turning from Gessner onto Westheimer?
Left-turn crashes at major Houston intersections involve complex right-of-way analysis. We use signal timing data, witness accounts, and video footage to establish fault for intersection crashes.
Can I recover for property damage as well as personal injury?
Yes. Texas personal injury claims include economic damages covering medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage (vehicle repair or replacement), as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering.
What if the crash involved a bus or Metro vehicle?
Claims against Houston Metro involve governmental immunity under the Texas Tort Claims Act, with specific notice requirements. We have experience with public transit liability claims — contact us immediately.
How do I document my injuries from a Gessner corridor crash?
Seek medical care the same day or next day — delayed treatment creates gaps that insurers exploit. Photograph all visible injuries, retain all medical bills and records, and keep a daily pain diary. We guide you through this process.
