Why Hood County Clients Choose Law Offices of Landon Northcutt
Over 25 years, we’ve handled cases in more than 100 Texas counties. That breadth means complex personal injury matters involving multiple jurisdictions, commercial defendants, or disputed liability don’t require a learning curve. We’ve faced those situations before and built litigation strategy around them.
Every case gets individual attention. No two accidents produce the same facts, the same injuries, or the same insurance position, so we don’t apply a standard template. We keep clients informed at every stage so decisions are made together, not handed down. Spanish-language services are available for clients who prefer to communicate in Spanish.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Granbury
We represent Hood County residents across a wide range of injury claims:
- Vehicle accidents: Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers
- Catastrophic and burn injuries: High-impact collisions and incidents resulting in life-altering harm
- Wrongful death claims: Seeking recovery for families who have lost a loved one, including lost earning capacity, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses
US-377 runs through Granbury as the primary corridor connecting Hood County to Fort Worth, carrying commuter, recreational, and commercial traffic. That mix creates predictable collision patterns. Lake Granbury draws boating and waterfront activity that produces its own accident types, from watercraft incidents to premises liability claims at lakeside properties. We handle all of these.
What Your Claim May Recover
Texas personal injury law allows injured plaintiffs to pursue two broad categories of damages. Economic damages cover concrete financial losses: past and future medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages address what doesn’t appear on a bill, including physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be available, though they require a higher standard of proof. Texas doesn’t impose general caps on personal injury damages outside of limited medical malpractice contexts, so recovery turns on the facts of your specific case. Results vary, and past outcomes don’t guarantee future results.

How We Can Protect You
Understanding Your Personal Injury Claim in Texas
How a Texas Personal Injury Case Moves Forward
Texas law sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Chapter 16 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Missing that deadline generally ends your ability to recover, regardless of how strong the underlying claim is. Starting early protects that window and allows time to gather evidence before it disappears.
To succeed on a negligence claim, four elements must be established: the other party owed a duty of care, they breached that duty, the breach caused your injuries, and you suffered damages as a result. Each element requires evidence, and that evidence degrades over time.
Comparative Fault & Insurance Negotiations
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you share some responsibility for the accident, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault doesn’t exceed 50 percent, though your recovery is reduced proportionally. Insurance adjusters sometimes raise comparative fault arguments specifically to reduce what they owe, which is one reason having our attorneys in your corner can change the negotiating dynamic.
Personal injury cases may resolve through direct settlement negotiations, mediation, or jury trial. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation can make settlements more favorable when they do happen.
Hood County Courts & Local Accident Context
Granbury is the county seat of Hood County. Personal injury cases here are heard in two venues depending on the amount in dispute: the 355th Judicial District Court handles civil actions exceeding $200 with no upper cap, while the Hood County Court at Law handles civil matters up to $250,000. Knowing which court fits your claim and how each operates is part of building the right strategy from day one.
Hood County’s geography shapes its accident profile. US-377 carries commuters heading toward Fort Worth, recreational traffic turning off toward Lake Granbury, and commercial vehicles on regional routes. That combination produces collisions ranging from routine rear-end crashes to catastrophic commercial truck impacts. Lake Granbury adds boating incidents and waterfront premises liability exposure largely absent in more urban counties. During peak retail and tourism periods, Granbury’s downtown square and lakeside venues generate pedestrian traffic and additional premises liability exposure.
We serve injury victims across Hood County and understand the local context that shapes these claims. If you’ve been hurt in the Granbury area, call us at (254) 355-4654 for a free consultation.
