Is Your Claim Viable?
The majority of claims we accept are resolved successfully, a common outcome in the legal world. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is your potential for a more substantial settlement. To enhance your chances of success, your claim must establish certain elements by a “preponderance of the evidence,” meaning it’s more likely than not that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
Did the At-Fault Party Owe You a Duty of Care?
To establish legal liability, you must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This duty requires individuals to act with reasonable care when their actions could foreseeably harm someone. For instance, a doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive education and expertise. However, seeking advice from a grocery store clerk about allergenic ingredients in a product likely doesn’t provide grounds for a personal injury claim. In such cases, the clerk’s role is to sell food, not to offer medical advice on ingredient allergies.
Was the Duty of Care Breached?
The next step is to prove that the negligent party failed to uphold their duty of care, which can be particularly challenging, especially in medical malpractice cases. Essentially, you need to demonstrate that the at-fault party behaved unreasonably in a given situation. For example, when driving, you have a duty to operate your vehicle in a manner that doesn’t harm other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you’ve likely breached your duty of care. On the other hand, if you swerve to avoid road debris and cause an accident, you may not have breached your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
Did You Suffer Damages Due to the Breach?
Now, you must establish that the breach of duty resulted in your injuries. Insurers often attempt to link your injuries to unrelated causes. For instance, they might claim that prior accidents caused your current injuries, rather than the negligence of their insured party. This is where our personal injury lawyers excel, as they know how to disprove such assertions and demonstrate that your injuries indeed resulted from the negligent actions of the other party.
Did Your Damages Occur in the Last 2 Years?
Texas imposes a relatively short 2-year statute of limitations, requiring you to file your legal claim within two years of your accident. Failure to do so will result in your claim being dismissed by the court if you attempt to file it later. While two years may seem like ample time, in the legal realm, it is relatively short. Filing your claim promptly is advisable, as delay can make gathering evidence more challenging, giving the at-fault party more time to build their defense.
Have You Avoided Critical Errors?
Texas law allows for imperfections. You don’t need to become a recluse, constantly worrying about making mistakes that might jeopardize your claim. However, there are certain pitfalls to avoid. For example, posting anything on social media, even seemingly innocuous content, is ill-advised, as insurers may use it against you. In Texas, being a “partial fault state” means you could be deemed partially responsible for your injuries, which can reduce the amount the at-fault party owes you. Therefore, consulting a personal injury lawyer early on is a wise choice to steer clear of costly missteps that could impact your claim significantly or lead to its outright denial.
Client Success Story
To witness our legal expertise in action, delve into 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 westward on US 287, but a momentary lapse in attention led to an unsafe lane change. This action resulted in a collision with another motorist who suffered a neck injury. Importantly, the injured party had a significant spinal surgery in her medical history.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to diminish their liability. We anticipated that the insurer would likely assert that a portion of the injuries were attributable to the prior spinal surgery.
While it is possible for previous surgeries to impact current injuries, Texas law upholds the principle of “The Eggshell Doctrine.” Under this doctrine, the injured party must be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate them.
To bolster our client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended comprehensive documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms. This required the client to obtain medical records detailing any new symptoms that emerged after the accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
As negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contended that the force of the accident couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the meticulously documented new symptoms and highlighted how even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to settle for $962,500.00, and the client benefited from a $70,000 savings due to our reduced 29% case fee, as the claim was resolved without the need for a lawsuit.
