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.

You are the boss, and we will respond quickly to your requests for case updates and assistance.

We successfully resolve most of the claims we accept, a common trend among legal professionals. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
In order to maximize the likelihood of your claim’s success, you must establish the following elements through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it is more likely than not that the negligence of the other party caused your injuries.
Here are the key factors we consider:
To establish legal liability, you must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” essentially means that individuals must exercise reasonable care in situations where foreseeable harm to others could occur.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their specialized knowledge and professional responsibilities. However, if you inquire about a food product’s ingredients from a grocery store clerk, it’s unlikely to give rise to a personal injury claim because they lack a duty of care in that context. They are responsible for distributing and selling food, not for providing medical advice regarding ingredients.
The next step involves proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
Essentially, you need to demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, when driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a reasonable manner that does not harm other motorists. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely be a breach of that duty. On the other hand, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and cause an accident, you probably haven’t breached your duty of care because your actions were reasonable given the circumstances.
You must also establish that the breach of duty of care led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes.
For instance, they might claim that your current injuries resulted from a prior accident. This is where our personal injury lawyers excel – we know how to refute such claims and prove that your injuries were indeed a result of the negligent behavior of the at-fault party.
Texas imposes a relatively short two-year “statute of limitations.” This means you must file your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident. Failing to do so will result in the dismissal of your claim if you attempt to file it later.
Although two years may seem like a substantial timeframe, in the legal realm, it is quite brief. It is advisable to file your claim as soon as possible after the accident to avoid challenges in gathering evidence and to prevent the at-fault party from building a strong defense.
Texas law allows for some imperfection. You don’t need to become reclusive and live in constant fear that any mistake might jeopardize your claim.
Nonetheless, you should exercise caution to avoid certain pitfalls. For instance, refraining from posting anything on social media, even seemingly innocuous content, is advisable. Insurers can twist your online activity against you. Since Texas follows a “partial fault” system, where you can be found partially responsible for your injuries, any mistakes on your part could reduce the amount the at-fault party might owe you.
This is another compelling reason to consult a personal injury lawyer promptly. They can guide you in avoiding missteps that could cost you thousands of dollars or even jeopardize your claim entirely.
To witness our legal expertise in action, take a moment to delve into this concise account of how one of our clients secured a settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A truck driver was traveling westbound on US 287 when, regrettably, a momentary lapse of attention led to an unsafe lane change. This resulted in a collision with another motorist who suffered a neck injury. It is noteworthy that the injured motorist had previously undergone a significant spine surgery.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often employ pre-existing medical conditions as a basis to limit their financial liability. We anticipated that the insurer might contend that a portion of the driver’s injuries were attributable to her prior major spine surgery.
While it is conceivable that a previous surgery could influence current injuries, it is important to understand that Texas law adheres to a principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine.” Under this doctrine, a plaintiff must be taken as they are, and they should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbated those injuries.
To bolster the client’s case, our attorney, Shane Mullen, recommended thorough documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms that the client experienced post-accident. This entailed obtaining medical records confirming the emergence of new symptoms. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurer commenced, they predictably disputed that the accident’s force necessitated surgical intervention. In response, Shane emphasized the documented new symptoms and underscored that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurer was compelled to disburse a settlement of $962,500.00. Notably, the client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, amounting to $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for litigation.
