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!

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.

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.

I was hit by a drunk driver in the middle of the freeway. She ran so it was a hit and run. i called the insurance company and it was hell to get things started up. So, I involved Shane Mullen. And suddenly things started to change. I was getting treatment for my injuries and finally got my rental. Then Shane didn’t stop there he gave me a sum of money that allow me to help all the people I know and start a small business. I got into this same situation with another lawyer and I got 1/3 of what Shane got me. Plain and Simple if you are not with Shane Mullen your losing money. Grade A Lawyer. -Mike Whoa

To see our legal skill in action, read this story about a pedestrian hit by a distracted driver. The client ended up winning $300,000.
The client was walking into a convenience store when a distracted driver hit her and caused serious injuries to her left leg. She suffered severe injuries to her ankle, including dislocation and a fractured fragment.
The client was hospitalized for several days and required surgery. She also needed physical rehabilitation and was unable to work for four months. Medical costs totaled around $50,000.
While most personal injury attorneys in the Arlington area would look at the medical bills to negotiate a settlement, Mullen & Mullen looks at people. We calculated our compensation request based on the client’s reduction in quality of life (and not just on her medical bills). Attorneys Shane Mullen and Joseph Morrison teamed up and engaged in tough negotiations.
The client was awarded $300,000 for her injuries. And because we charged her our reduced case fee of 29% (because the case did not go to court), she was able to put an additional $13,000 into her pocket.
With impressive results like you just read, and extensive experience winning a variety of personal injury claims, you might worry that you can’t afford Mullen & Mullen. But you can!
That is because you do not pay anything until after you win your claim. And what you do pay only comes out of your case’s final settlement value. You pay nothing out of pocket.

In the state of Texas, you have a two-year window from the date of your accident to initiate your personal injury claim. Given that defendants may intentionally tamper with evidence, prompt filing is crucial. Preserving evidence and securing witnesses are vital to your case’s success, making it wise to file your claim as soon as possible. Initiate this process with a complimentary consultation from Mullen & Mullen by calling (214) 747-5240.
At Mullen & Mullen, our track record of settling claims is impressive, setting us apart from other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth. We aim to maximize your settlement, giving you the best chance of a favorable outcome.
For your claim to succeed, it must establish key elements through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means showing that it is more likely than not (over 50%) that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here are the essential factors we assess:
In order to establish legal liability, you must demonstrate that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” implies that one must exercise reasonable care in situations where harm to others is foreseeable. For example, a doctor owes you a duty of care due to their specialized knowledge, but a grocery store clerk generally does not have a duty of care in providing medical advice regarding food ingredients.
The next step is to prove that the party with the duty of care breached that responsibility. This can be particularly challenging, especially in medical malpractice cases. It involves showing that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For instance, texting while driving constitutes a breach of the duty of care toward other motorists, while swerving to avoid road debris, which a reasonable person would do, likely does not.
You must establish a direct link between the breach of the duty of care and your injuries. Insurers may attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes, such as a prior accident. Our personal injury lawyers excel at refuting such claims and proving that the injuries resulted from the negligent behavior of the at-fault party.
Texas has a relatively short two-year statute of limitations, meaning you must file your legal claim within two years of the accident date, or the court may dismiss your claim. Acting promptly is crucial, as it becomes more challenging to gather evidence and allows the at-fault party to prepare a defense the longer you wait.
While Texas law allows some imperfections, certain mistakes can be detrimental. Posting on social media, for instance, can be used against you by insurers. Texas follows a “partial fault” system, where your responsibility can affect the amount you’re owed. Seeking counsel from a personal injury lawyer early on is advisable to steer clear of these pitfalls and maximize your claim.
When you have a lot of money at stake, you do everything you can to make sure you get the most possible, right? When you search for personal injury lawyers in Arlington, you want to get the best one possible, so you get max compensation.
Not all personal injuries lawyers are the same. Some know what to do and care to do it better than others.
I cannot express just how grateful I am to Joseph Morrison, and the Mullen and Mullen team for helping me with my case! While driving on the freeway, I was hit from behind by another driver driving at an extremely high speed. Consequently, I had neck injuries and was unable to continue to do the activities in my life that I love. I was referred to Mullen and Mullen by a friend, and once I made the call, they very quickly scheduled a consultation, and I was able to take care of my medical concerns quickly and efficiently. Working with Joseph Morrison, I felt that I instantly had a friend in my corner. He helped me feel comfortable through the whole process, and that made all the difference to me. Mr. Morrison always let me know how things were going on the case and returned my calls right away. I am very pleased to say that the settlement we received was even more than originally quoted, and my husband and I are more than extremely pleased with the way our case was cared for. What an amazing experience for such a traumatic time in my life. I am so grateful to have found Mullen and Mullen! -Cindy Gull
So how do you find such a lawyer? Here’s what to look for:
What really matters is that your personal injury lawyer has already won classes like yours. No two cases have the same facts. However, you can have high confidence in an attorney who has already won cases like yours. They know what mistakes to avoid. And they know how to negotiate with insurers and defending parties to get you the most money possible for your injuries and damages.
New lawyers get their start at big firms. These firms allow young attorneys to assist with the case. In some situations, they let these inexperienced lawyers do all the work while a senior attorney supervises. Even though a senior attorney supervises, they simply cannot scrutinize every detail like they would if they just managed the claim themselves. Smaller firms have experienced personal injury lawyers do all the real work on your claim. And that gives you the best opportunity to win the most compensation possible.
Many personal injury lawyers have at least 5 – 15 positive Google Reviews. Small firms with valuable experience have at least 200. And large firms have thousands. The personal injury lawyers you consider should have at least 200 positive Google Reviews. That means they have been in business for some years and have a proven history of success. Just because a larger firm has thousands does not mean that they will give you any better service. It does mean they take on more cases though. The point is the firm you’re considering should have enough reviews to indicate they’ve been in business for some years and can do exactly as they say.
Quality lawyers have an extensive list of achievements (cases won) and professional organizations to which they belong. The key with the professional organizations is that they are invite-only and have some exclusivity. In other words, you only get in by performing well…and not by buying your way in. Look at your attorney’s online profile at their website. See which professional organizations they discuss. And then just search the organization to learn how lawyers become members. The best organizations accept just a small percentage of all lawyers. Do not be impressed by a membership to the State Bar. That is required. It simply allows you to practice your area of law in your state. Every personal injury lawyer should have that. The point is that you find achievements and organizations based on merit. This shows you get a level of skill with your lawyer that you do not with others.
Despite your preconceptions of lawyers, you should feel comfortable in talking with yours. You should not feel anxious or stressed about simply talking to your lawyer. While some lawyers have prickly reputations, some personal injury lawyers are just as pleasant to talk to as anyone you can imagine. Make sure you feel comfortable with your personal injury lawyer on a personal level.
The point here is to check as many of these factors as possible. The more your personal injury lawyer has, the more comfortable you should feel that they will get you the most money possible for your injuries.
Talk to a few lawyers. Compare your experiences. One will stand out. Go with that one.
The average industry fee is 33.3%-35%. Our exceptional track record allows us to offer a pre-suit contingency fee that is well below industry standards at just 29%, leaving more of your settlement in your pocket.
