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. That doesn’t even include the combined experience of the attorneys that serve as of-counsel to Mullen & Mullen at no additional cost to our clients. 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. We have over 40 years of local knowledge, and that matters!
Some lawyers forget that they represent the client, but we never have. Our legal team will make YOU the priority. 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.
When necessary, Mullen & Mullen Law Firm uses cutting edge technology like 3D imaging videos to fully demonstrate the extent of our clients’ injuries to the insurance companies. This also helps maximize the value of your claim.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
