I cannot recommend this law firm enough. After a serious accident involving a truck and a semi, I was left with significant injuries and unsure of where to turn. From the moment I reached out, their team took charge and handled everything with professionalism and care. They not only made sure my medical needs were addressed but also fought tirelessly to secure the compensation I deserved.Thanks to their expertise, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable with the process. Ultimately, they helped me win a significant settlement that covered both my medical bills and provided financial security for my future.If you’re facing a tough personal injury case, these are the people you want in your corner. Their dedication and skill made all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me.
Mullen and Mullen took care of me and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Greg was very professional and informed me of all my options. Would recommend for personal injury representation
Josh did a really good job for me on my accident case! I would recommend Mullen and Mullen to anyone!
So grateful we called Mullen & Mullen after our car accident. They made sure we got medical care ASAP, as well as handled everything with the insurance company. Greg really made the whole process painless and always kept us up to date with the status/ progress with our case. Would recommend Mullen & Mullen to anyone
Mullen & Mullen is a great law firm I would definitely recommend. From the start with Micheal F. He showed great compassion for our case and made me feel like he really wanted to help. To the end with Greg, he was very knowledgeable and only excepted what he believed we deserved nothing less. If you are ever in an accident you should definitely reach out to them!
When my second auto accident occured last year, my first call out of the hospital was to Mullen and Mullen. Shane Mullen had represented me in an accident 2 years earlier and I wanted his counsel again. This is an attorney who, not only understands how the system works, but also understands what the victims are experiencing. For me there was no other choice. Everyone in this firm is understanding and sympathetic and that's why they are the best. Shane was able to get me the medical attention I needed and the best settlement. This is a first class law firm who will help you through the ordeal.
I had the pleasure of working with Josh Banks and Mullen & Mullen after my car accident. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the start, Josh was professional, attentive, and kept me informed every step of the way. He truly went above and beyond to handle my case and made sure all my concerns were addressed promptly. The entire team at Mullen & Mullen was supportive and responsive, and Josh's dedication really made a difference. I highly recommend Josh Banks and Mullen & Mullen to anyone in need of a reliable, experienced personal injury lawyer. They made the entire process stress-free and got me the results I was hoping for.
I recently finalized a car accident settlement with the help of Josh Banks. He got me way more than I was expecting. He answered any questions I had, and offered me all the options I had to choose from. It took a little longer than I wanted but in the end it was worth the wait. I'm extremely satisfied I had him as my lawyer.
Let me start by saying, that I couldn’t be happier with choosing Mullen and Mullen to represent me for my personal injury case. From my first phone call to the final result, I was treated with respect and absolute courtesy. While searching for a firm to represent me, and going through dozens of reviews, I noticed that the number one complaint from most people was, they weren’t kept in touch with in what could be a very lengthy process. The attorneys who represented me, Gregg and Josh, never left me hanging for an answer, and always returned my calls in a very timely manner, keeping me up-to-date with every detail of my case. To say they were professional is an understatement, and I’m so pleased with the final result that words aren’t enough to express my gratitude. And every time I called, B, usually answered, and was always very upbeat and direct to my call promptly, or made sure I received a return call as soon as possible. I highly recommend using Mullen & Mullen if you’ve been involved in an accident, resulting in a personal injury.Gary SchmidtLittle Elm, Texas

These providers are also willing to delay billing collections until after your case is resolved so you can focus on recovering without additional stress.

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.

DO YOU HAVE A VIABLE CLAIM?

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:

Was There A Duty Of Care Owed By The At-Fault Party?

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.

Was The Duty Of Care Breached?

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.

Did You Suffer Injuries Due To The Breach?

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.

Did Your Damages Occur Within The Last 2 Years?

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.

Have You Avoided Critical Errors?

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.

CASE STORY: WINNING $962,500 FOR A NECK INJURY IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT

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.
