According to TopVerdict.com, our Dallas attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the state of Texas. As a matter of fact, in the last three years we’ve made their “Texas Top 50 Personal Injury Settlements” list 43 times. For example, in 2021 one of our claims made the Top 10 list, eight made the Top 11-20 list, and ten made the Top 21-50 list. 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 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.

Therefore, it is prudent to file your claim as soon as possible. You can initiate the process by scheduling a free consultation with Mullen & Mullen at (214) INJURED.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
