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. 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.

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.

At Mullen & Mullen, we excel in settling the majority of claims we accept, a common trait among most lawyers. However, what sets us apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is your increased opportunity to secure a more substantial settlement.
To maximize the likelihood of a successful claim, certain key elements must be substantiated by a ‘preponderance of the evidence,’ meaning the odds must tip over 50% that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
To establish legal liability, it’s essential to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. The term ‘duty of care’ implies that one must exercise reasonable caution in situations where harm to another person is foreseeable.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive education and expertise. They provide medical services and advice beyond the layperson’s abilities. On the other hand, asking a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients that might cause allergies generally doesn’t lead to a personal injury claim because they lack a duty of care in that regard. Their role is to sell and distribute food, not provide medical guidance.
The next step involves proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, particularly in cases of medical malpractice.
Essentially, you need to show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, in the context of driving, there’s a duty of care to operate a vehicle in a way that doesn’t endanger other motorists. Texting while driving and causing an accident is a clear breach of that duty. However, if you swerve to avoid road debris and cause an accident, you likely haven’t violated your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation. In such cases, it’s unlikely anyone can sue you for resulting damages.
You must also establish a causal link between the breach of duty of care and your injuries. Insurers often work hard to argue that your injuries stem from unrelated causes. For instance, they might claim that injuries you previously sustained in another accident caused your current ones, rather than their customer’s negligence. This is where our personal injury lawyers step in – we know how to counter these arguments and demonstrate that your injuries did, indeed, result from their customer’s negligence.
Texas has a relatively short ‘statute of limitations’ of 2 years. This means that you must file your legal claim within 2 years of the accident date; otherwise, your claim will be dismissed if you attempt to file it later. While 2 years might seem ample, in the legal realm, it’s quite limited. Filing your claim promptly is wise, as delays make evidence collection more challenging and give the at-fault party more time to build their defense. Therefore, filing sooner is advantageous.
Texan law allows room for imperfections. You don’t need to become reclusive, constantly fretting about any potential mistakes that could jeopardize your claim. However, certain missteps should be avoided. For instance, posting on social media, however innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers can use anything posted there against you. Additionally, since Texas follows a ‘partial fault’ system, where you can be found partially responsible for your injuries, it’s crucial to consult a personal injury lawyer early on. They can guide you in avoiding pitfalls that could cost you thousands of dollars or potentially your entire claim.
In a demonstration of our legal expertise, we present the following case story illustrating how one of our clients secured a settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
The incident revolved around a truck driver traveling west on US 287, who, regrettably, failed to exercise due diligence and executed an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver resulted in a collision with another motorist, inflicting a neck injury upon her. Notably, the injured party had a history of a significant spinal surgery in her medical records.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often employ pre-existing medical conditions as grounds for reducing their financial liability. It was expected that the insurance provider would assert that at least a portion of the driver’s injuries could be attributed to her prior major spinal surgery.
However, it is imperative to recognize that Texas law adheres to the “Eggshell Doctrine,” which mandates that a plaintiff be compensated for all injuries stemming from the accident, regardless of whether pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries. This legal principle asserts that you must take the plaintiff as you find them.
To ensure our client’s success in her claim, Shane Mullen, our legal representative, recommended the meticulous documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms following the accident. This entailed securing medical records that would confirm any fresh symptoms observed by the client. Ultimately, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
Upon initiating negotiations with the insurance company, they predictably contested that the force of the accident could not have necessitated surgical intervention. In response, Shane Mullen directed their attention to the documented new symptoms and highlighted that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to make a substantial settlement payment of $962,500.00. Notably, our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, saving her $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the necessity of filing a lawsuit.
