I had a great experience with the way Josh Banks handled my car accident case. You all have a client for life!
I’m so grateful to Mullen & Mullen Law Firm for handling my car accident case! Even though the other driver was uninsured, Josh guided me through the entire process with professionalism and care. He kept me informed, answered all my questions, and fought hard to get me a settlement. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication from the team — they made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help after an accident.Edit: I forgot to mention Jailene! She was incredibly helpful over the past year, keeping me informed and updated throughout the entire process. She answered all my questions promptly and made sure I was always in the loop of what was going on. I truly appreciate her support as my case assistant and highly recommend her!
Josh represented me after a car accident. Mullen & Mullen did an amazing job and kept me updated throughout the case. From the first initial call to the end of the case I was taken care of.
I hired Mullen & Mullen following a motor vehicle collision. I could not be more pleased with the Dallas personal injury lawyers I selected. They are the real deal! I was always kept in the loop on case developments. My attorneys sent the at-fault liability carrier multiple demands to make them agree to pay the policy limits. My lawyers also sent my own insurance company several demands to get them to offer me nearly the policy limits. Many attorneys would have given up and recommended filing a lawsuit, but Mullen & Mullen kept pounding the insurance companies until they did the right thing. This saved me a tremendous amount of money and time. I'm so grateful I found ethical, tenacious, and skilled attorneys to represent me. Mullen & Mullen gets my highest recommendation if you need a Dallas car accident attorney.C. Burnett
I loved the personalized approach they had for my case. I never felt left out or like I was one of their several cases. They answered each and every query patiently and provided a solution. I trusted them and never regretted it. You can trust them with any of your injury claims, and you'll not regret it.
Mullen & Mullen has been amazing. I used them after hearing about them on a Christian radio station, and that says a lot right there. Mr. Banks was my attorney and kept me inform through the entire process of getting my rear end collision settled. The entire team was professional and informative from the first call through my medical treatments and then dealing with the insurance companies. I will use them again if I ever have another accident.
I Recently completed a Claim/ Settlement with The Help Of the Awesome team at Mullins &Mullins! It was quite the process, but the Team at Mullins &Mullins made it a seamless process for me..They Took Care of all of the work, and keep me updated as to the progress. Josh was my adjuster He was friendly informative and knowledgeable about how everything goes. And he kept me updated, as we all throughout the process..I hope I'm never in a another accident, But if So I have Mullins &Mullins on SpeedDial now and wouldn't hesitate to call back!
Thank you Josh for all the hard work you did on my car accident case! Mullen and Mullen did a fantastic job for me!
Thank yoi Josh for my car accident case. Every employees are helpful.
The gratitude and respect I have for this Law Firm cannot be expressed enough. I genuinely do not know where I would be without their authentic care for their clients and the ethical nature in which they practice while keeping it like a "family" experience.I have never experienced an auto accident (not at fault) nor could have imagined what could develop several days later until ending up in the ER very symptomatic. Fortunately, an acquaintance who took me to the ER did know what was occurring and reached out to Mullen and Mullen on my behalf. I can only say a sincere thank you to the very soft spoken, kind, Investigator who came to my home as by then I was too symptomatic to barely articulate or be welcoming.I had changed from "I'm fine" to literally not being able to think or advocate for myself.I was assured Mullen & Mullen Law Firm was reputable, but what I found was they go far beyond anything I could have imagined.I was set up immediately with the medical care and specialists needed, imaging, etc. Everything was taken care of for me and with excellent medical specialists and the care I needed over the long run. To know that the medical professionals were just that - legitimate and excellent professionals who did have the credentials, expertise, and experience to provide me with everything they could towards a recovery. Unbeknownst to me, I was facing such complexities that turned into an unimaginable situation for me. There were so many complicating issues that continued to present that it has taken someone like Greg to understand the physical, psychosocial, and numerous factors making for a truly unique & complex situation. I wish I could express enough how much Greg did to get me to where I am now and with a plan for recovery, as Greg's unchanging calm professional yet warm, steady, solid, reliable, and kind empathetic nature has meant the world to me. Greg always responded to my calls, voicemails, texts, even weekends, and walked me through all the stress and the process as well. Everyone I had contact with at Mullen & Mullen were so very gracious. I knew nothing; and I appreciate Greg explaining along the way, never "promising" anything; yet, in the end due to his advocacy I know that I know that any benefit that was available for me was provided and I am grateful for his representation of me. Greg truly understood and was beyond exceptional to be able to explain my complex case to others. I could not have made it to where I am even now without Greg who is the consummate professional and genuinely cares. So much I could say that it has been hard to say anything frankly as it's been such a stressful and emotional time that Greg was there for me. It was also a refreshing experience to see each detail outlined openly, honestly, which demonstrated that this law firm is just that: HONEST. Mullen & Mullen does deserve 5 Stars. They prioritize their clients with authenticity. They do not take advantage of anyone in the process. PLEASE know this IS a respectable, honorable law firm whom will treat you like family and you CAN trust.

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.

Mullen & Mullen’s attorneys live and work right here in Dallas, and always have. We believe in paying our success forward by helping people in the North Texas community, and are dedicated to supporting these local charities.

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.
