Client Success Story: A $962,500 Settlement for a Neck Injury Resulting from a Commercial Truck Accident

Semi-Truck AccidentWitness our legal expertise in action through this case narrative, where a client secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.

In this scenario, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise due diligence, making an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver resulted in a collision with a motorist, causing her to suffer a neck injury. It’s important to note that the injured party had a history of significant spine surgery in her medical records.

Unfortunately, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing medical conditions to limit their payout. We foresaw their argument that some of the injuries might have been linked to her previous spine surgery.

However, under Texas law, the “Eggshell Doctrine” prevails. This principle dictates that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, regardless of any exacerbation by pre-existing conditions.

To ensure our client’s success, Shane Mullen recommended thorough documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms following the accident. This involved obtaining medical evidence of these symptoms. The client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.

When negotiations commenced with the insurer, they predictably contended that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane highlighted the documented new symptoms and emphasized that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.

Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to pay $962,500.00. What’s more, our reduced 29% case fee meant the client saved $70,000, as her claim was settled without resorting to a lawsuit!

Texas Statute of Limitations

In Texas, you have two years from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim. This sounds like a long time. But remember that defendants intentionally lose or destroy evidence as soon as they can. Preservation of evidence, and securing witnesses, are crucial to your case. So, you’re wise to file your claim as soon after your accident as you’re able.

Start the process with a free consultation with Mullen & Mullen by calling (817) 768-6680.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Mullen & Mullen, our lawyers have a combined 95 years of experience. That means we’ve seen all kinds of personal injury cases and know how to handle each. The following are the types of cases we see most frequently, but we are not limited to these:

  • Fort Worth Work Accidents – If your employer doesn’t subscribe to worker’s compensation, we can help you pursue max compensation. You can win more via a personal injury claim. And we have 95 years of combined experience to use on your behalf.
  • Fort Worth Wrongful Death – Any personal injury can result in death. When your loved one’s death is someone else’s fault, you likely have a “wrongful death” claim. And we can help you get max compensation for your loss.
  • Fort Worth Premises Liability / Slips and Falls – Though hard to prove, we can win these claims because of our decades of experience. Negligent property owners will lose, hide, and destroy evidence to evade responsibility. File your claim quickly. And with Mullen & Mullen on your side, you have a great opportunity to win max compensation.
  • Fort Worth Car Accidents – The DFW Metroplex annually ranks as one of the top 3-5 most dangerous places to drive in the entire country. That’s right. It doesn’t get much more dangerous to drive than it does right here at home. When someone else’s negligence causes you injuries and financial damages, we help you get max compensation.
  • Fort Worth Drunk Driving Accidents
  • Fort Worth Truck Accidents – People continue to leave the trucking industry because of the benefits and lifestyle. This low demand and shortage of truck drivers puts intense pressure on truckers and the companies to drive faster and with less caution. Some trucking companies force their drivers to break the law. If a trucker causes your injuries due to their own negligence, we make sure you get max compensation.
  • Fort Worth Motorcycle Accidents – If you’re in a motorcycle accident, you always lose. While motorcycles can be hard to see, motorists can also be negligent. When they are, we’ll help you get max compensation for your injuries.
  • Fort Worth Dog Bites – Dogs are man’s best friend, but they’re not perfect. And some dog owners are downright negligent. When they are, we will help you get max compensation for your injuries.

Do You Have a Viable Personal Injury Claim?

We do settle most of the claims we accept. Most lawyers do. But the difference between Mullen & Mullen and other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth is that you have a greater opportunity of walking away with more settlement funds in your pocket.

To give your claim the highest chance of success, it needs the following elements proved via a “preponderance of the evidence.” That means the odds are greater than 50% that the other party’s negligence led to your injuries.

Here’s what we look for:

Did the At-Fault Party Owe You a Duty of Care?

To establish legal liability, you must show the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” simply means that you must act with reasonable care when in a situation that could foreseeably harm someone.

Your doctor owes you a duty of care. He went to school for many years and now charges for his services. He has some level of expertise beyond the lay person.

However, if you ask someone at the grocery store if a certain product has a particular ingredient that causes allergic reactions, you likely don’t have a personal injury claim.

That’s because the grocery store clerk doesn’t have a duty of care in that regard. They are paid to distribute and sell food, and not to provide medical advice regarding its ingredients.

Was the Duty of Care Breached?

Next, you must prove the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly difficult, and especially so in medical malpractice claims.

Basically, you have to show the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a certain situation.

So, an example would be driving. You have a duty of care to drive in a reasonable way that doesn’t harm other motorists. If you’re texting while driving, and you cause an accident, you likely violated your duty of care towards other motorists.

However, if you swerve to avoid debris in the road and cause an accident, you likely have not violated your duty of care. You did what a reasonable person probably would have in the same situation. And it’s likely no one can sue you for any damages that resulted.

Did You Experience Damages as a Result of the Breach?

Now, you must show that the breach in the duty of care led to your injuries. Insurers work hard to show that your injuries resulted from some other unrelated cause.

For example, you might have injuries you experienced from another accident in the past. The insurer may say that caused your current injuries, and not their customer’s negligent behavior.

And that’s where our personal injury lawyers come in. We know how to prove insurers wrong and show that your injuries did in fact happen because of their customer’s negligence.

Did Your Damages Happen in the Past 2 Years?

Texas has a rather short 2-year “statute of limitations.” This simply means that you must file your legal claim within 2 years of the date of your accident. If you don’t, then the court will toss out your claim if you attempt to file it.

2 years seems like a long time. But in the legal world, that’s not long at all. You’re always wise to file your claim as soon as you can after your accident. The longer you wait, the harder it is to gather evidence. And the at-fault party has more time to mount their defense. So, don’t give them any more help than you must.

Did You Avoid Major Mistakes?

Texas law allows you to be imperfect. It’s not like you need to disappear from society and hide in your home, trembling and wondering if any misstep you make will destroy your claim.

However, you do have to be mindful of making certain mistakes. For example, posting anything on social media, no matter how seemingly innocent, is not a good idea. Insurers will twist anything you put there against you.

They may not even want to defeat your claim entirely. Insurers may simply want to minimize what they must pay you because Texas is a “partial fault state.” That simply means you can be found at least partially at fault for your injuries. And the amount the at-fault party could owe you would be reduced in proportion to your responsibility for your injuries.

Again, this is another reason why talking to a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can makes good sense. They can advise you on mistakes to avoid so you don’t miss out on thousands of dollars…or even losing your claim entirely.
