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.

To commence the process, schedule a free consultation with Mullen & Mullen by calling (214) 747-5240.

Throughout these 40 years, our legal experts have assisted numerous individuals in successfully navigating the claims procedure, recuperating from their physical injuries, and obtaining the rightful financial compensation they deserved.
One major insurer’s report says the average personal injury lawyer wins their client 2-3 times the insurance company’s initial offer. We routinely get clients 10-15x. And some even get 20x.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
