IS YOUR CLAIM VIABLE?
Most claims we accept result in settlements, as do those handled by many other lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.
To maximize the likelihood of a successful claim, several key elements must be established by a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that there is more than a 50% chance that the negligence of the other party led to your injuries.
Here are the crucial factors we evaluate:
Did The At-Fault Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?
To establish legal liability, it’s essential to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This duty implies acting with reasonable care in situations that could foreseeably harm someone. For example, a doctor owes a duty of care due to their specialized training and expertise. In contrast, a grocery store clerk has no such duty, as their role is to distribute and sell food, not provide medical advice about its ingredients.
Was The Duty Of Care Breached?
The next step involves proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care, which can be particularly challenging, especially in medical malpractice cases. In essence, you must show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, texting while driving is a breach of the duty of care, as it endangers other motorists. However, swerving to avoid debris in the road and causing an accident may not constitute a breach if it was a reasonable response.
Did You Experience Damages As A Result Of The Breach?
You need to establish that the breach of the duty of care directly led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to argue that your injuries resulted from unrelated causes, such as a previous accident. Our personal injury lawyers excel at refuting these arguments and proving that your injuries are a direct result of the at-fault party’s negligence.
Did Your Damages Occur In The Past 2 Years?
In Texas, there is a short 2-year “statute of limitations.” This means you must file your legal claim within two years of your accident’s date; otherwise, your claim will be dismissed. While two years might seem like a long time, it’s crucial to file your claim as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to gather evidence, and the at-fault party gains more time to build their defense.
Did You Avoid Significant Errors?
Texas law doesn’t require perfection, but you should be cautious about making certain mistakes. Posting on social media, no matter how innocent it may seem, is not advisable, as insurers can use your posts against you. Since Texas follows a “partial fault” system, where you can be assigned partial responsibility for your injuries, a personal injury lawyer can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes and protecting your claim from reductions in compensation or even loss.
CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
Witness our legal expertise in action through this compelling story illustrating how one of our clients secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A commercial truck driver was traveling west on US 287 when an unfortunate incident occurred. Failing to maintain proper attention, the driver executed an unsafe lane change, resulting in a collision with a fellow motorist. The victim suffered a neck injury, with the added complexity of a previous significant spine surgery in her medical history.
Tragically, insurance companies often employ pre-existing conditions as a means to reduce their financial obligations. We were well aware that they might attempt to argue that a portion of the driver’s injuries stemmed from her prior major spine surgery.
While it is plausible that a previous surgery could influence current injuries, it’s essential to note that Texas law operates under the “Eggshell Doctrine.” This doctrine dictates that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries. In essence, it mandates that you take the plaintiff as you find them.
In order to support our client’s successful claim, our attorney, Shane Mullen, advised that all new and exacerbated symptoms be meticulously documented. This entailed obtaining medical records that would confirm any fresh symptoms noticed by the client following the accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
Upon entering negotiations with the insurance company, they predictably contended that the accident’s impact was insufficient to necessitate surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the comprehensive documentation of new symptoms and underscored the fact that even a moderately severe accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to disburse a settlement of $962,500.00. Remarkably, our client also benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, totaling a savings of $70,000, as her claim was successfully resolved without the need for litigation.
