The last thing anyone wants is a car accident, especially when it wasn’t your fault. I had some lower back pain and I had issues with insurance companies and finding the provider of the driver who hit me. After contacting Mullen & Mullen they took over everything, made the process easy, found the providers, and set me up with physical therapy. And put money in my pocket at the end. In the event of another accident I will definitely be returning to Mullen & Mullen!
Working with Greg and the Mullen and Mullen team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They truly went to bat for me and made sure I was never left in the dark throughout my entire case. Every question I had was answered promptly, and they kept me updated every step of the way. If you have been in a car accident, Mullen and Mullen should be your very first call. I cannot recommend them enough.
Had a great experience working with Josh at Mullen & Mullen. After our car accident, their team guided us through the entire process and helped schedule all our medical appointments seamlessly. They were professional, responsive, and made sure we weren’t burdened with any medical bills since the accident wasn’t our fault. Highly recommend their services!
Exceptional experience with Mullen & Mullen Law Firm. They guided my sister through a highly complex post-accident situation without insurance, handling every aspect with remarkable expertise and professionalism. Their ability to coordinate with the hospital and navigate insurance challenges was truly impressive. Joe and his team were responsive, transparent, and deeply committed to achieving a fair outcome. Their dedication and client-focused approach made an otherwise overwhelming process seamless. Highly recommend their services without hesitation.
I absolutely cannot recommend this firm enough. I had an accident where I was originally blamed but I had a dash cam that showed I wasn't at fault. The other insurance attempted to pay a very small amount even though both vehicles were totaled and I was taken to the hospital with issues that are lifelong. I received numerous calls every day from attorneys but they never made me feel heard. After a ton of research, I contacted Mullen and Mullen and they came to meet with me the next day. Started working on my case immediately and were excellent at communicating and getting me what I needed every step of the way. The final settlement was seven times what I was originally offered. Josh was very upfront about everything and explained in language I understood to the point where I never had a question. There is a reason this firm has 5 stars and the reason is that they are the best. Stop searching, contact Mullen and Mullen, be patient and you'll be extremely happy with the results.
Honestly the best law firm ever, the process was easy to understand, and they are upfront about everything, keeping you inform about what is happening with your case every step of the way. They handle everything for you to make sure you are done right! Josh was too awesome! Make sure that he is with your case as well, he'll do you right. Now, this is my first time dealing with legal issues with a car insurance trying to get rid of me as soon as they can, but when I tell you that they made it felt like a piece of cake! Excellent work!
2026 Update: These were the first and only accident lawyers that I contacted with I was involved in an recent accident because I knew I will be well taken cared of. Everyone that I worked with, including the receptionists was kind, patient, and professional. They let me know what will happen step by step and how long it may take, and immediately answered all my possible questions. Zero Complaints at all, if you are patient with them, they will take care of you like First Class.
Josh Banks is amazing! After being in a very bad car accident and having to go through a lot of therapy and it was hard, after almost 2 years we finally settled and Josh didn’t allow the insurance company or anybody to take advantage of me or low ball me. He helped me every step of the way and was very professional, helpful and definitely knew what he was doing. Thank you Josh and Mullen & Mullen for everything you’ve done for me!
I can't possibly recommend this law firm more. Had a vehicle accident with the other driver blaming me and contacted Mullen and Mullen. Met with me the very next morning at a place I chose and started working on my case the same day. From doctor visits to dealing with the other insurance company, it was extremely easy with them handling it. Josh stayed in contact the entire time giving me updates and what step they were on with the process. I had zero experience in this and I now feel like a pro with how much he explained and the detail he gave. Save yourself time and energy and just stick with this firm.
I appreciate Joshua and the rest of the Mullen and Mullen law firm for helping me during this time. It was definitely a process when accidents occur but this team was truly there. They communicate and educated me on the process. I really appreciate the team at Mullen and Mullen. I recommend them to anyone.
After my car accident, Joseph Morrison, provided the expert guidance I needed. They were honest, responsive, and worked tirelessly on my case. I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Mullen & Mullen to anyone in need of a great personal injury lawyer. Thanks again.
Join The Family That Wins®
In the last four years, our firm made Top Verdict’s “Top 50” Personal Injury Settlements in Texas list 44 times, and the “Top 100” list 70 times.
Our Results Speak For Themselves
Gross Settlements Before Fees & Expenses
We have achieved numerous multimillion-dollar settlements across all practice areas, but we are restricted from displaying some very large results due to settlement confidentiality. Here are a few recent results without confidentiality agreements:
Personal injury firms take 33.3% – 35% on pre-suit settlements. Our family puts more of YOUR settlement money in your pocket by offering a discounted 29% contingency fee on pre-suit settlements. Most of our claims settle without the filing of a lawsuit.
According to TopVerdict.com, our attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the state. As a matter of fact, in the last five years, we’ve made their Texas “Top” lists 105 times. We also placed on their #1 settlements list for Dallas county (in different categories) 9 times. (2025 lists not yet published). 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 104 years of combined experience practicing personal injury law.

Our firm continues to evolve, but we never forget our Core Values. We do the right thing, handle cases the way we would want our own case handled, and we truly listen to clients.

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.
Most firms hire an investigator to help develop evidence on your case and charge you back for that service. Our firm, however, has 2 full-time accident investigators on staff and we offer their services to you for free. This is another way we will maximize your compensation.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Video footage is worth a lot more. Our in-house videographer allows us to capture the true impact the accident has on your life beyond mere words on a piece of paper.

IS YOUR CLAIM STRONG AND VIABLE?
At Mullen & Mullen, we make it our priority to resolve the majority of the claims we accept. This is a common practice among lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
To bolster the success of your claim, several essential elements must be substantiated by a “preponderance of the evidence.” In simpler terms, it means that there is a greater than 50% likelihood that the negligence of the other party was responsible for your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
Did The Negligent Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?
To establish legal responsibility, you must demonstrate that the defendant had an obligation to exercise reasonable care when in a situation that could foreseeably harm someone. For instance, your doctor has a duty of care, given their expertise and the professional services they provide. On the other hand, if you inquire with a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients and potential allergens, it is unlikely to be a basis for a personal injury claim. In this context, the clerk’s duty is to sell and distribute goods, not to offer medical advice.
Was The Duty Of Care Breached?
The next step is to prove that the negligent party failed to meet their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases involving medical malpractice. Essentially, you must establish that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, when driving, there is an obligation to operate a vehicle in a manner that does not jeopardize other road users. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely be considered a breach of this duty of care. However, if you swerve to avoid debris in the road and an accident occurs, it is less likely that you breached your duty of care because your actions were reasonable given the circumstances.
Did You Suffer Damages Due To The Breach?
It is crucial to demonstrate that the breach in the duty of care led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes. For instance, they may argue that prior accidents were responsible for your current injuries, not the negligence of their insured party. Our personal injury lawyers specialize in disproving such claims and showing that your injuries did indeed result from the negligence of the other party.
Did Your Damages Occur Within The Past 2 Years?
In Texas, there is a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations.” This means that you must file your legal claim within two years of the date of your accident, or your claim may be dismissed. While two years may seem like a reasonable timeframe, in legal terms, it is quite limited. Filing your claim promptly is advisable, as it allows for the collection of evidence and prevents the at-fault party from building a strong defense.
Did You Avoid Critical Mistakes?
Texas law permits imperfections, but certain mistakes must be avoided. For instance, posting on social media, regardless of how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers can use your online activity against you. Texas operates under a “partial fault” system, where you can be assigned partial responsibility for your injuries, potentially reducing the compensation owed to you by the at-fault party. This underscores the importance of consulting a personal injury lawyer promptly to receive guidance on avoiding errors that could jeopardize your claim, potentially leading to substantial financial losses or even the dismissal of your claim.
CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
To witness our legal expertise in action, delve into this brief account to discover how one of our clients secured a substantial $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A truck driver was traveling west on US 287, but unfortunately, they neglected to exercise caution and executed an unsafe lane change. This recklessness resulted in a collision with another motorist, who subsequently suffered a neck injury. It’s important to note that the injured party had previously undergone a major spine surgery as part of her medical history.
Regrettably, pre-existing medical conditions can provide insurance companies with grounds to limit their payout. We foresaw that the insurance company might assert that a portion of the driver’s injuries were attributable to her prior significant spine surgery.
While it’s conceivable that a prior surgery could influence present injuries, Texas law operates under the principle of “The Eggshell Doctrine.” This doctrine dictates that the plaintiff should be taken as they are, requiring compensation for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbated them.
To ensure our client’s success in her claim, our attorney, Shane Mullen, recommended a thorough documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms. This involved obtaining medical records for any newly observed symptoms after the accident. The client also underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contested that the accident’s force couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane drew attention to the documented new symptoms and highlighted the fact that even a moderate accident could worsen pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurer was compelled to disburse $962,500.00, and our client benefited from a $70,000 reduction in our 29% case fee because her claim was resolved without the need to initiate a lawsuit.
