Gina West ★★★★★ These are professional people who really do care. I called them for the first time on yesterday about my vehicle accident and Josh represented the firm with compassion. He listened, explained that someone would be contacting me today and minutes later Matt called me. I was given the option of an appointment the same day or early the next morning at my home. Matt provided me with his direct contact phone number and his email address. It's with 27 years of serving, training and experience in the United States Air Force that I give this law firm the highest recommendation. Grateful indeed, Gina W.Marvinette Monroe ★★★★★ I can’t say enough about Josh and the team at Mullen & Mullen with assisting with my motor vehicle accident in Dallas, TX. They’re consistently courteous, professional, and provide exceptional service. I will recommend their team for any motor vehicle accidents and slip & falls.Amber Burnett ★★★★★ Mullen & Mullen assisted my husband when he was injured in a motor vehicle collision on Main Street. They are absolutely wonderful Frisco personal injury lawyers. They assisted him in getting the medical attention he needed following the wreck. When it came time to negotiate with the insurance companies, they wouldn't take no for an answer. Our attorneys kept the heat on until they finally had to do the right thing. I feel like a lot of firms would have given up and recommended a lawsuit right away but Mullen & Mullen attorneys are super ethical and determined. They were eventually able to help my husband get almost the full available policy limits without the stress and time associated with a lawsuit. If you need a Frisco car accident attorney these are the injury lawyers you should call. Highly recommended!Chad Burnett ★★★★★ 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. A lot of attorneys would have given up and just 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 very grateful that I found ethical, tenacious, and skilled attorneys to represent me.

I took advice from a friend who insisted that I contact another law firm who's name I was very familiar with, from constantly hearing there commercial on the radio. When I called the other law firm they set me up an appointment to come in an speak to someone. I went and was very impressed with how nice there office was, however I was not impressed with how much there fees where. Let's just say that I could see why the decor was so nice after I learned what they would charge me for representation. I politely declined and limped right out of there office. I then went home and started doing my own research online going from one firm to another, reading review after review and came across Mullen & Mullen. I called the office explained my situation just as I had done with the other law firm and the first thing that the lady asked me from Mullen & Mullen was would I like to come in? or Would I like for someone to come out to my home to talk with me? They sent someone out, he answered all of my questoins. He was very thorough and professional so I was only a little impressed at this time, until he explained to me what there fee would be. And that's when I became even more impressed. I was told that a Mr. Josh Banks would be contacting me and would be handling my case. Mr Banks always kept me informed with what was going on and would check to see if I was satisfied with the services that I was receiving. He also got me the maximum amount that I could receive without charging me an arm and a leg, the process didn't take long and I didn't have to go into some fancy smancy office. Over all my experience with Mullen & Mullen has been great! Keep up the good work Mullen & Mullen!Debbie Wilson ★★★★★ Truly great firm!

I recommend this law firm to anybody that would need an attorney!Talia Lozano ★★★★★ My husband and I worked with Joseph at Mullen & Mullen, he was extremely sincere and personable, he did everything he said he would and always followed up when promised. Mullen & Mullen took care of us from the very beginning making everything extremely easy to get the help we needed. It was our first time having to go through something like this and Joseph took care of us the whole way. We also had a recent bankruptcy due to loss of job, and Joseph was able to work with the trustee to get us even more than the court's exception would allow in our particular circumstances.My husband also wants to shout out to "Mike", the original representative we met with after our accident, he was extremely knowledgeable and made everything feel right when signing on with Mullen & Mullen, and gave us the confidence we had nothing to worry about.We were referred by my brother Carlos L. who went to school with Mr. Mullen's son and are glad we took his advice!Stacey Lawrence ★★★★★ I cannot say enough about Mullen & Mullen... I've been working with Shane Mullen and from the beginning he has taken the time to answer all of my questions and explain the process to me in terms which I could understand.

It is seriously a team effort with the Mullen and Mullen law firm. I hope No one has to go through a situation like mine but if you do I strongly recommend going to Mullen and Mullen . You will rest a lot easier knowing they have you back .Allie Farooq ★★★★★ We were hit by a drunk driver in Mesquite Texas, and immediately went to google search to find an attorney at the scene. We were very apprehensive because we had never been in this type of situation, and never had hired an attorney for a car wreck. We solely chose Mullen and Mullen based on their 5 star review. We are so glad we made this decision! We were both hurt bad and had to see doctors and go through physical therapy. Joseph Morrison handled our case and was so extremely caring and understood our pain, he took his time with our case. Every time I called, he answered, and spent so much time on the phone answering each question. He made sure we got all the treatment necessary before closing our case. We were extremely pleased with the end and will always call if we ever need him. My husband told me it's so easy and they are so nice it makes me nervous. We learned it really was just easy! They really did have our best interest at heart. Our neighbor had a similar wreck and we told them to call and they didn't. They lost so much and the wife still has pain to this day. She always says to me we should have called.Brittany Puckett ★★★★★ I want to thank Joseph with Mullen & Mullen for being the best attorney anyone could have asked for. He worked very hard in getting the medical help I needed after my auto accident. He made me feel like I was his only client. He kept me informed on what was happening during my case and truly cared about my health care needs. His hard work and legal knowledge helped me in getting the insurance limits for pain and suffering allowed. It was more than I expected. Thank you for everything you did for me. I highly recommend Joseph Morrison with Mullen & Mullen Law Firm.Kimberly Greer Nichols ★★★★★ I hired Shane Mullen as my personal injury lawyer for a slip and fall case. I hired them because of the positive reviews they had as well as the amount of experience. I was not disappointed. Shane and Mullen & Mullen did a great job for me and I couldn't be more pleased.Razieh Shoorab ★★★★★ As a future chiropractor who also works for a successful chiropractic office, I deal with many personal injury cases as well as different lawyers. Hands down Mullen & Mullen has been the best. They really do take their business to a personal level. After a screening call from one of his assistance, it was the next day that Shane Mullen called me. I will never forget our first conversation and one thing in particular that he said to me. I said, “This is the first time I am talking with you but I trust you so much” and he replied: “I Fully Trust Myself Too.” That was what I wanted to hear. I wanted to make sure that my lawyer is confident and my case is in good hands and with that settlement he proved his confidence and competence. As an experienced client I suggest that if you ever involve in an accident and need an attorney, do yourself a favor and call Shane Mullen. He will represent you with a passion for justice. Thank you Shane, you are amazing!Razieh Shoorab ★★★★★ There is no way I can express my gratitude towards Mullen & Mullen law firm.

Is Your Claim Viable?
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:
Was There a Duty of Care Owed by the At-Fault Party?
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.
Was the Duty of Care Breached?
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.
Did the Breach Lead to Your Injuries?
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.
Did the Incident Occur in the Past 2 Years?
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.
Have You Avoided Crucial Mistakes?
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.
Client Success Story
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.
