According to TopVerdict.com, our Dallas attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the state of Texas. As a matter of fact, in the last three years we’ve made their “Texas Top 50 Personal Injury Settlements” list 43 times. For example, in 2021 one of our claims made the Top 10 list, eight made the Top 11-20 list, and ten made the Top 21-50 list. When you factor in our reduced 29% contingency fee, we are confident we will help you recover more. At Mullen & Mullen, we pride ourselves on routinely recovering full policy limits for our clients without the necessity of costly and time-consuming litigation.
We have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic technology through well-established relationships with medical doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, neurologists, counselors, and other healthcare providers in the entire DFW Metroplex. You receive the quality medical attention you need from local providers near where you live or work. These providers specialize in treating people hurt in accidents of all kinds and they know how to properly document injuries to meet the legal burden of proof in your personal injury case. These providers are also willing to delay billing collections until after your case is resolved so you can focus on recovering without additional stress. Physicians that don’t routinely treat accident victims as part of their practice usually turn away patients over fear of being involved in the legal process or fear of health insurance companies refusing to pay accident-related healthcare bills. Please call us at 214-747-5240 for a free consultation and some advice.
Even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t afford your deductible, Mullen & Mullen will secure you the quality healthcare and state-of-the art diagnostics you deserve with no upfront out of pocket costs.
Shane, Joseph and Regis have almost 100 years of combined experience practicing personal injury law.

You are the boss, and we will respond quickly to your requests for case updates and assistance. We guarantee that when you need to speak to your counsel, you will speak directly to your counsel, not to a paralegal or secretary, because that’s the way it should be.

Safeguarding evidence and securing witnesses are pivotal to the success of your case. Therefore, it is advisable to commence the claims process as soon as practicable following your accident. Take the initial step by scheduling a complimentary consultation with Mullen & Mullen at (214) 747-5240.
Our dedicated local team exemplifies a steadfast work ethic and a sincere dedication to your welfare.
Mullen & Mullen has been championing the legal rights of North Texans since 1983. Over four decades, our legal professionals have assisted numerous individuals in successfully navigating the claims process, recuperating from bodily injuries, and securing the rightful financial compensation they deserve.
The average industry fee is 33.3%-35%. Our exceptional track record allows us to offer a pre-suit contingency fee that is well below industry standards at just 29%, leaving more of your settlement in your pocket.
At Mullen & Mullen, we stand apart from other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth by offering you a better chance at securing a more substantial settlement. We settle the majority of the claims we accept, just like most lawyers do. However, what sets us apart is the enhanced potential for you to receive a more favorable settlement.
To maximize the success of your claim, certain essential elements must be established through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it is more likely than not that the negligence of the other party caused your injuries.
Here’s what we examine:
To establish legal liability, you need to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” simply implies that individuals must exercise reasonable care when their actions could potentially harm someone.
For example, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They charge for their services and have a level of knowledge beyond the average person. However, if you ask a grocery store clerk about the ingredients in a product that might cause allergic reactions, it is unlikely to give rise to a personal injury claim. This is because the grocery store clerk does not have a duty of care in that context; they are responsible for selling food, not providing medical advice about its ingredients.
Next, you must establish that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice. Essentially, you need to demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation.
For example, consider the act of driving. You have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a manner that does not endanger other motorists. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you likely violated your duty of care toward other motorists. However, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and an accident occurs, you probably did not breach your duty of care. Your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation, and it’s unlikely that anyone can sue you for resulting damages.
You must demonstrate that the breach of the duty of care led to your injuries. Insurance companies often work hard to argue that your injuries resulted from an unrelated cause. For instance, they might claim that your current injuries are a result of injuries from a previous accident, rather than their customer’s negligence.
This is where our personal injury lawyers come into play. We have the expertise to refute the insurer’s claims and establish that your injuries indeed occurred due to the negligence of their customer.
In Texas, there is a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations.” This means that you must file your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident. Failing to do so will result in your claim being dismissed by the court if you attempt to file it later.
While two years might seem like a generous timeframe, in the legal world, it’s rather limited. It’s advisable to file your claim as soon as possible after your accident. Waiting longer makes it harder to gather evidence, and it provides the at-fault party with more time to build their defense. Therefore, it’s essential not to assist them any more than necessary.
Texas law permits some imperfections. You don’t need to withdraw from society and live in fear that any mistake will jeopardize your claim. However, you should be mindful of certain errors to avoid. For example, posting anything on social media, no matter how innocent it may seem, is ill-advised. Insurers can use anything you post against you.
Insurers may not necessarily aim to completely invalidate your claim. Instead, they might seek to minimize their payout because Texas operates under a “partial fault” system. This means you can be found partially at fault for your injuries, and the amount the at-fault party owes you will be reduced in proportion to your responsibility.
This is yet another reason why consulting a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is a wise decision. They can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes to ensure you don’t miss out on a substantial settlement or lose your claim altogether.
To witness the prowess of our legal expertise in action, take a moment to delve into this brief narrative recounting how a client secured a substantial $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
As the tale unfolds, a truck driver was traveling westbound on US 287, but a lapse in attention led to an ill-advised lane change, resulting in a collision with another motorist who suffered a neck injury. Complicating matters, the injured party had a notable history of prior spine surgery.
Regrettably, insurance companies often wield pre-existing conditions as a means to diminish their financial obligations. We foresaw their likely contention that some of the injuries were attributable to the previous major spine surgery.
While it’s conceivable that prior surgery could influence current injuries, Texas law adheres to a guiding principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine.” This doctrine dictates that the injured party should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions contribute to their severity.
In a strategic move to bolster the client’s case, Shane Mullen advised the meticulous documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms post-accident. This involved obtaining medical records that could establish a link between the accident and the subsequent need for multiple laminectomies to rectify damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contended that the accident’s force couldn’t have necessitated surgery. However, Shane skillfully drew attention to the documented new symptoms, highlighting that even a moderately severe accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurer was compelled to disburse an impressive sum of $962,500.00. Remarkably, our client enjoyed a $70,000 reduction in fees, thanks to our 29% case fee structure, as her claim was successfully resolved without resorting to litigation.
