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 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.

At Mullen & Mullen, we aim to settle most of the claims we accept, just like many other lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is our commitment to ensuring you have a better chance of securing a more substantial settlement.
To maximize your claim’s chances of success, it must establish specific elements by a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means demonstrating that it is more likely than not (over 50%) that the other party’s negligence directly led to your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
To establish legal liability, it is essential to prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care. In simple terms, this means they had a responsibility to act reasonably when their actions could foreseeably cause harm to someone.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive education and expertise. They are expected to provide a certain level of care beyond that of an average person.
On the other hand, if you ask a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients and its potential to cause allergies, it’s unlikely to give rise to a personal injury claim. Grocery store clerks are primarily responsible for distributing and selling products, not offering medical advice regarding ingredient-related allergies.
The next step is to demonstrate that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
Essentially, you need to prove that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, in the context of driving, you have a duty to operate your vehicle in a manner that doesn’t endanger other motorists. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you likely violated your duty of care toward other drivers.
However, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road, causing an accident, you probably did not breach your duty of care. Your actions were likely in line with what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation, and you might not be held liable for any resulting damages.
You must also establish that the breach of the duty of care directly resulted in your injuries. Insurance companies often attempt to link your injuries to unrelated causes. For example, they might argue that your current injuries stem from a prior accident, rather than the negligence of their customer.
This is where our personal injury lawyers excel. We have the expertise to challenge insurers’ assertions and prove that your injuries did indeed result from the negligence of the other party.
In Texas, there is a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations,” meaning you must file your legal claim within two years of the accident date. Failing to do so will likely result in the dismissal of your claim if you attempt to file it later.
While two years may seem like a substantial period, it’s relatively brief in the legal realm. Filing your claim promptly is advisable because the longer you wait, the more challenging it becomes to gather evidence. Additionally, the at-fault party gains more time to build their defense. Therefore, it’s essential not to provide them with unnecessary advantages.
Texas law acknowledges that people can make mistakes. You don’t have to become a recluse, constantly worried that any misstep will ruin your claim. However, it’s crucial to exercise caution and avoid specific errors. For instance, posting anything on social media, even seemingly innocuous content, is ill-advised. Insurers can use your social media posts against you.
Furthermore, Texas is a “partial fault state,” which means you can be deemed partially responsible for your injuries. In such cases, the amount the at-fault party may owe you is reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility for the injuries.
This underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. They can offer advice on avoiding critical mistakes, ensuring you don’t miss out on potential compensation or risk losing your claim entirely.
For a tangible demonstration of our legal expertise, explore this concise narrative to discover how we secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a client who had sustained a neck injury in a commercial truck accident.
On a journey westward along US 287, a truck driver, regrettably, failed to exercise due diligence and executed an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver resulted in a collision with a fellow motorist, who suffered a neck injury. Notably, the injured party had a significant spinal surgery in her medical history, which insurance companies frequently exploit to limit their liability. We foresaw that the insurance company might attempt to contend that a portion of the driver’s injuries was attributable to her prior major spinal surgery.
While it is plausible that a prior surgery could have some bearing on current injuries, Texan law subscribes to the “Eggshell Doctrine.” This legal principle mandates that the plaintiff be taken as they are, necessitating compensation for all injuries attributable to the accident, even if pre-existing conditions contribute to the exacerbation of those injuries.
In a bid to bolster our client’s claim, Shane Mullen advised that all new and intensified symptoms be meticulously documented. This entailed obtaining medical records of any novel symptoms that surfaced post-accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to rectify damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contested that the accident’s force couldn’t have warranted surgery. In response, Shane directed their attention to the documented emergence of new symptoms and the compelling argument that even a moderate accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to settle for $962,500.00, and our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee due to the absence of a lawsuit filing, saving her $70,000.
