IS YOUR CLAIM VIABLE?
Most of the claims we accept are settled, as is the case with many lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced opportunity for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
To increase the likelihood of a successful claim, it is essential to establish the following elements through a “preponderance of the evidence,” where the odds are greater than 50% that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here are the key factors we consider:
Did The At-Fault Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?
To establish legal liability, it is necessary to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This duty of care requires individuals to act with reasonable caution when their actions could potentially harm others. For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They are expected to provide a level of care beyond that of an average person. On the other hand, if you inquire about a product’s ingredients at a grocery store, you generally do not have grounds for a personal injury claim. Grocery store clerks are tasked with selling and distributing products, not offering medical advice concerning allergies.
Was The Duty Of Care Breached?
The next step is to prove that the negligent party violated their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice. Essentially, you must demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, consider the duty of care when driving. You are expected to drive in a reasonable manner that does not endanger other motorists. Texting while driving and causing an accident is a clear breach of this duty. However, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and cause an accident, you likely have not breached your duty of care. Your actions were reasonable in a similar situation, and you are unlikely to be held responsible for any resulting damages.
Did You Suffer Damages As A Result Of The Breach?
You must also establish that the breach of the duty of care led to your injuries. Insurers often work hard to argue that your injuries resulted from unrelated causes. For example, they may claim that injuries you experienced from a previous accident are responsible for your current condition, rather than their customer’s negligence. Our personal injury lawyers excel in proving insurers wrong and demonstrating that your injuries did, in fact, result from the negligence of their customer.
Did Your Damages Occur In 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 2 years of the accident date, or your claim may be dismissed. While 2 years may seem like a long time, it is quite limited in the legal world. Filing your claim promptly is wise, as waiting longer makes it more challenging to gather evidence, and the at-fault party has more time to build their defense. Avoid giving them unnecessary advantages.
Have You Avoided Significant Errors?
Texas law allows for imperfections, but you should be cautious about certain mistakes. For example, posting anything on social media, regardless of how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers can use your social media posts against you. In Texas, being a “partial fault state,” you may be found partially responsible for your injuries, which could reduce the amount the at-fault party owes you. Therefore, consulting with a personal injury lawyer early on is a prudent decision. They can offer guidance on avoiding mistakes that could cost you thousands of dollars or even jeopardize your claim.
CASE STUDY: $962,500 Settlement for a Neck Injury in a Commercial Truck Accident
Experience our legal expertise in action through this concise narrative showcasing how one of our clients secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise due diligence and executed an unsafe lane change. This negligent maneuver resulted in a collision with a motorist, inflicting a neck injury upon her. Complicating matters, the injured motorist had a significant prior spinal surgery in her medical history.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often attempt to exploit pre-existing medical conditions to reduce their financial liability. We anticipated that they would assert that at least a portion of the driver’s injuries were attributable to her previous spinal surgery.
While it’s conceivable that a prior surgery could impact current injuries, Texas law adheres to a principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine.” This principle dictates that the injured party should be compensated for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries.
To assist our client in winning her claim, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or worsened symptoms. This necessitated obtaining medical records confirming any newly arising symptoms post-accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations commenced with the insurance company, it was unsurprising that they contested the notion that the accident’s force could have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane highlighted the documented emergence of new symptoms and underscored that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurance company was compelled to provide a settlement of $962,500.00. Remarkably, our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, saving her $70,000 since her claim was resolved without the need to initiate a lawsuit!
