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.

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...

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.

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.

A Message From Our Senior Associate Attorney

“It is important in dog bite cases to retain counsel familiar with all potential causes of action.”

My spouse and I are proud parents to two rescue dogs, Max and Tobey. They hold an enormous place in our hearts and are integral members of our family.

While most dogs are known for their friendly disposition and lead uneventful lives, regrettably, some canines pose a danger to people. I’ve witnessed distressing images of injuries sustained by clients in dog bite incidents that are etched in my memory.

It’s crucial to understand that a dog owner can be held responsible for injuries you suffer if they were aware that their dog had previously bitten someone. But it’s equally important to note that liability can extend to cases where the owner knew their dog exhibited behavior that suggested it might bite or attack someone. Moreover, not all dogs are afforded a “free bite” under the law. Specific breeds, such as Akitas and Pit Bulls, are considered inherently dangerous, making their owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs.

Furthermore, various cities and counties have enacted their own animal control laws, which typically require dogs to be leashed. A violation of these “leash laws” often results in the owner being deemed “negligent per se,” meaning they are automatically considered negligent under the law.

Dog owners and handlers can also be held responsible for the negligent handling of non-aggressive animals. In short, they have a duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent their animals from causing harm to others.

I vividly remember a case in which we represented a five-year-old girl. She accompanied her father to deliver an item to a neighbor. The neighbor had a small dog, not an inherently dangerous breed and with no history of biting. However, the homeowner’s mother negligently allowed the dog to escape as she opened the door. The dog lunged at the young child, and its nails caught her in the eyelid. Subsequently, a minor plastic surgery was required to rectify the damage. This was an undoubtedly traumatic experience, especially for a child.

In dog bite cases, it’s essential to seek legal counsel well-versed in all potential legal avenues. In the case mentioned earlier, the child’s portion of the settlement amounted to over $110,000. These funds were placed in an annuity, guaranteeing a contractual payout of at least $179,864.81 over a specified period. This sum is sufficient to finance her future college education, and we extend our best wishes to her.

Attorney Joseph R. Morrison, Senior Associate

Bitten or mauled by someone else’s dog?

There is absolutely no cost to you unless we settle your dog attack case. Get medical treatment upfront with no out of pocket, even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t afford your deductible.

Mullen & Mullen has been in DFW for 40 years, and our attorneys combined have 95 years of experience. We have the skills required to maximize your recovery.

It could be years before you or your loved one fully recovers. You may even have permanent physical disfigurement. And you may feel emotional trauma that seems never ending.

On top of that, you have mounting medical bills from large medical institutions who only care about money, lost income because you can’t work, perhaps a child who’s lost their innocent and optimistic outlook on life, and you may not be able to do the things you love with the people you care about most.

Plus, you have another problem too. And it’s one you probably don’t even realize.

That lies in finding a dog bite lawyer in Fort Worth with the proven legal skill and personal desire to get you the money you deserve.

Because not all dog bite lawyers in the Fort Worth area are the same. Just like any other professional service you hire; you have many options. And you’re wise to evaluate each.

For example, you may talk with the firm you see advertising on TV all the time. While they will take on your case and likely win you some money, they really focus on settling your claim as fast as possible, so they maximize their own profit per hour.

What about large firms? Well, they often have an experienced senior attorney who only supervises the inexperienced junior attorneys and paralegals…who do all the real work!

In either case, you can easily miss out on six figures or more…and you might even lose your claim entirely!

Mullen & Mullen’s Attorneys Will Get You the Most Money Possible

You also have a third option. And that lies in Mullen & Mullen. We’re a small firm of three dog bite lawyers that puts its decades of experience and proven skill in winning claims worth as much as $500,000 to work for you.

Unlike other firms, we don’t employ a single inexperienced junior attorney or paralegal. That means a seasoned lawyer with at least 15 years of experience does all the real work on your claim.

And that half-million dollar claim just mentioned? The injured child had just $3,000 in medical bills.

Money doesn’t fix your physical and emotional pain and suffering. But it’s how you hold irresponsible dog owners accountable for their actions and maintain your standard of living.

Need more proof not from our own lips? Just Google “Mullen & Mullen’s Reviews” and read our more than 350 nearly perfect client reviews.

But That’s Not All! You Get Even More with Mullen & Mullen

A lawyer with a track record of success winning dog bite claims who cares to get you the most money you deserve is what you want. That way, you have high confidence you’ll end up with the maximum money possible for your injuries.

And to sweeten the deal even more, Mullen & Mullen offers you the below additional incentives when we take on your case:

• Don’t pay any medical bills until after you win your claim – Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But we can assure you that, if we take on your claim, you will not have to pay any of your medical bills until after you win your claim. We have specially negotiated relationships with medical professionals and organizations of all kinds that make this happen.
• Pay a reduced case fee of 29% (regularly 33.3%) – As long as your claim settles without having to go to court, and about 90% of ours do, you pay just 29% of your final settlement value as your fee. It costs us less time and money to win your claim, and we pass the savings on to you.
• Additional cost savings thanks to our private investigator – Nearly every other dog bite law firm in the Fort Worth area subcontracts a private investigator’s services (rather than employing one). This costs a lot more money. Instead, we actually employ a private investigator in-house. Not only does this save you money, but we’ve worked with Mike Foster for more than a decade now. He’s super sharp and does an amazing job of digging up the most compelling evidence that gets you the most money possible for your injuries.

Common Defenses to Dog Bite Injuries and How We Overcome Them

No one wants to pay for your injuries. Not the dog owner. And not their insurance company.

When it comes to dog bite cases, you have the burden of proof. The general idea is that you must show it’s “more likely than not” (greater than a 50% chance) that the dog in question caused your injuries.

And then you need to argue for fair compensation for those injuries.

When it comes to dog bite claims, dog owners and insurers will more than likely use one or more of the following defenses:

You Trespassed

You can only recover compensation for your injuries if you were legally on the dog owner’s property when attacked. You can’t hold someone responsible for your injuries if you were illegally on their property. So, they may try to show that you weren’t invited onto their property and that you were in fact trespassing.

Having witnesses available helps overcome this defense.

You Provoked the Dog

You potentially have responsibility when it comes to dog bite claims too. The defendant may try to say you got too close to the dog, took something from him, teased or tormented the dog, or engaged in other behavior likely to agitate him.

Provocation doesn’t necessarily need to be intentional. It can be something as simple as a child stepping on a dog’s tail.

Usually, this is pretty hard to show. If you have witnesses, or if the dog has a history of aggression, it’ll be difficult to prove that you provoked the dog somehow.

You Were Warned

A simple “Beware of Dog” sign can be enough to absolve a dog’s owner of responsibility, assuming they also properly restrained their dog.

However, if you can show the sign was not clearly visible at the time of the attack, you may still be able to win your claim.

You’re Not a Trustworthy Person

Insurers will use whatever information they can find against you. Rather than looking at the facts of your situation, they may choose to attack you personally.

They may scrutinize your social media accounts for evidence that questions your character.

The simplest defense? Temporarily shut down your social media accounts until after you’ve won your claim.

If the insurer has already gotten a hold of evidence that questions your character, we’ll simply present evidence of your good character.

You Knew the Dog Was Likely to Harm You

This defense comes into play frequently with any kind of professional who performs a service for your dog. So, this would include veterinarians, their assistants, groomers, pet sitters, and kennel operators.

As a professional, you know any dog may bite you. But you knowingly and voluntarily take the risk to help a dog in some way.

In most cases, the court will see this defense as valid, and you won’t be able to recover compensation. However, if you’re an employee of a company that provides professional services for dogs, you may still be able to recover compensation if you were unnecessarily exposed to danger.

For example, the dog’s owner tells you the dog doesn’t like men. But you’re a man, and your boss, despite knowing that fact, makes you provide care for the dog. If you get attacked, you have a good chance at winning your claim because you were unnecessarily exposed to the risk of injury.
