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.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
