When you’re hurt in a motorcycle accident, our skilled Fort Worth attorneys fight tenaciously to ensure the maximum available settlement while offering you the lowest contingency fee. We handle your case the way we would want our own case handled.
Mullen & Mullen is consistently recognized by TopVerdict for obtaining some of the largest recoveries in the entire state of Texas. In the last 3 years our firm made the Texas “Top 50 Personal Injury Settlements” list 43 times. One of those years we had 19 of the “Top 50” results and all of them were for clients injured in vehicular accidents. Our stellar results allow us to offer a below industry standard 29% pre-suit contingency fee which means more settlement funds in your pocket.
Our experienced local team has an incredibly strong work ethic and truly cares. We’ve been privileged to serve North Texas for over 40 years. This is our backyard. Call (817) 768-6680 now for a free consultation and some excellent advice.
We are acutely aware of the unfortunate bias against motorcyclists in collision situations, often stemming from the occasional sight of riders speeding past or maneuvering recklessly in traffic. This unjustly perpetuates the stereotype that such behaviors are the norm, when, in reality, the majority of motorcyclists exhibit exceptional responsibility and take vigilant measures to ensure their safety, given the elevated risks of severe harm or even fatality.
At Mullen & Mullen, we consistently prioritize listening to the motorcyclist’s perspective, offering them the well-deserved benefit of doubt. I can vividly recall a recent case wherein our client suffered severe injuries due to a left-turning motorist’s failure to yield the right of way, resulting in a catastrophic collision. He was forcefully ejected from his motorcycle and skidded through the intersection, narrowly escaping a fatal outcome.
Following the incident, we obtained the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report, which astounded us with its attribution of fault to both our client and the driver of the compact SUV involved in the crash, primarily due to conflicting statements. The report indicated a lack of witnesses to the accident. However, we placed our trust in our client’s account and deployed our in-house investigators, who successfully located two independent witnesses. These witnesses substantiated our client’s claim, confirming that the motorist had indeed failed to yield the right of way, and that there was no green arrow present.
Rather than yielding to the initial challenge posed by the police report, we persisted in our unwavering support for our client. We gave him the benefit of doubt and diligently built a compelling case, exposing the inaccuracies in the other motorist’s statements to the investigating officer, thus averting an egregious miscarriage of justice.
Throughout this ordeal, we developed a strong rapport with our client, who, regrettably, lacked health insurance. Nevertheless, we went above and beyond to ensure he received the top-tier medical care he urgently required and rightfully deserved. His medical providers displayed exceptional compassion by deferring his bills, allowing him to concentrate on his recovery from the grave injuries sustained. Eventually, we secured the full insurance policy limits from the liable motorist’s insurance company, bringing much-needed justice to our client.

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.

Our team prioritizes your understanding of legal rights and options, ensuring a transparent and pressure-free experience.
Motorcycle accidents stand apart from other vehicular accidents due to their distinct risks and complexities. The exposed nature of motorcyclists means they face greater danger on the roads, lacking the protective shell of a car. This often results in injuries that are more severe, including fractures, spinal injuries, brain trauma, and fatalities.

Motorcyclists face a higher risk of injury in accidents due to their exposure and the lack of protective barriers. The injuries they might incur can vary widely in severity.
Below are common injuries that motorcyclists might suffer:
This injury is caused by sliding across the pavement, leading to skin abrasions that can range from mild to severe. Without proper care, road rash can be excruciating and may lead to infections.
The impact of motorcycle crashes often results in broken bones or fractures, including injuries to arms, legs, collarbones, ribs, and facial bones. These injuries can be severe, sometimes requiring surgery and a long recovery period.
Despite helmet use, motorcyclists can still suffer head injuries, from mild concussions to serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which may affect cognitive functions, memory, and overall brain health.
These injuries can be devastating, potentially causing partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of motor function below the injury site. Spinal cord damage often necessitates lifelong care and rehabilitation.
Injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, such as whiplash, sprains, strains, and tears, are common. They can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility, requiring physical therapy or significant pain management.
Crashes can lead to serious internal damage, including bleeding, organ damage, and injuries to the lungs, liver, or kidneys. These injuries demand immediate medical attention to avoid severe complications.
Beyond physical injuries, accidents can cause significant emotional and psychological distress, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, necessitating psychological support for recovery.
Motorcycle accident injuries can lead to chronic pain, permanent disability, financial strain due to lost income and medical expenses, reduced quality of life, and the need for ongoing medical care. It’s crucial for victims to receive comprehensive medical attention and consult with a qualified motorcycle accident attorney to seek compensation for their injuries and the long-term effects they may face.
Yes, they share many similarities. Most aspects of insurance coverage and available damages remain consistent. However, when it comes to liability, the insurer representing the other party may be more inclined to argue that you also share blame for the accident. They might point to factors like excessive speed or the absence of a helmet as contributing factors. Consequently, establishing strong liability on the part of the at-fault party becomes crucial. This underscores the importance of retaining an experienced personal injury attorney.
Absolutely. This is particularly critical when the insurance company attempts to dispute liability or suggests that you bear more than 50% of the fault for the accident. Identifying witnesses and collecting their contact information is essential.
To ensure we gather all necessary evidence, our accident investigators actively search for witnesses to the motorcycle accident, even if they weren’t mentioned in the police report. Our investigators possess extensive experience thoroughly canvassing accident sites to uncover potential witnesses.
On the other hand, it’s crucial to note that the insurance company won’t automatically assume you were injured. They will demand evidence of your injuries. Therefore, it is imperative that you seek medical care promptly if you experience any symptoms related to the motorcycle accident, regardless of how minor they may appear.
Remember: If you delay seeking medical treatment for your injuries after an accident, the insurance company is likely to argue or imply that your claim has a “gap in treatment,” indicating a period during which you received no medical care. This is often used to suggest that your injuries are not genuine.
Responsibility for this type of accident could rest with you, or it could be attributed to the government entity responsible for maintaining the road. If the road was properly maintained, the fault may fall on you. However, if there was a specific road defect, a government entity or contractor could be held accountable.
This is the most frequent type of motorcycle accident. Drivers sometimes fail to notice motorcycles due to their familiarity with larger vehicles. Fault should generally lie with the driver, but winning your claim is not guaranteed.
Lane-splitting is neither explicitly permitted nor prohibited by Texas law. However, many jurors might assign negligence to both parties.
In this scenario, your fault is likely to increase. Texas follows a “comparative negligence” approach, meaning you can recover compensation if you are 50% or less responsible for your injuries. However, if you were not wearing a helmet and it could have reduced or prevented your injuries, your ability to recover a significant amount of compensation could be impacted.
Yes, it’s still possible to seek compensation for your injuries even if the police are unable to identify who caused your motorcycle accident. Your own testimony may be found more persuasive by a jury, and it’s possible that witnesses who have not yet come forward could provide further evidence. Additionally, an expert in accident reconstruction might be able to determine the responsible party using technical analysis, measurements, or data retrieved from the vehicles involved.
Our team of investigators at Mullen & Mullen Law Firm is trained to handle cases efficiently to prevent them from becoming disputes based solely on conflicting statements. They quickly interview known witnesses and search for others by checking with local businesses or residents. If needed, our firm in Dallas will bring in a specialist in accident reconstruction without requiring any initial payment from you.
Should you need records related to your accident or the person at fault, several organizations might hold important information. These organizations can include:
At Mullen & Mullen, we frequently request records from these and other agencies. By choosing our services, we will expedite the process of obtaining all relevant documents concerning your motorcycle accident and any information on the at-fault drivers.
A liability claim is pursued against the insurance provider of the person who caused the accident, such as a motor vehicle driver who collided with you.
If the responsible driver lacked a valid license, you might have grounds to sue them for irresponsibly allowing an unlicensed or unfit person to use their vehicle. Furthermore, if the at-fault individual was working at the time of the accident, a liability claim could also be filed against their employer under the doctrine of Respondeat Superior.
First-party claims are those you file with your own insurer or the insurer of the vehicle owner. These claims can cover:
PIP insurance offers “no-fault” coverage, which means it can cover medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. If the insurer fails to show a signed waiver, you’re entitled to $2,500.00 in PIP coverage.
MedPay coverage functions similarly to Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. However, unlike PIP, if you receive compensation from a third party for an accident, your insurer may seek reimbursement for MedPay benefits paid out.
To pursue a claim for underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits, you must first secure an offer from the at-fault driver’s insurance that is at or near their policy limits. You are entitled to up to $30,000 in coverage, provided that there is no signed waiver rejecting this coverage from your insurance provider. It’s important to note that you must get approval from your own insurer before accepting any settlement offers from the at-fault party’s insurer, as failure to do so might result in your insurer denying coverage.
UM claims are filed when the driver responsible for an accident lacks the legally required insurance coverage. In incidents involving a hit-and-run, it’s essential that there was actual physical contact between the at-fault vehicle and your motorcycle or yourself for the claim to be valid. This is in contrast to liability claims where direct contact is not necessary for a claim to be pursued. For example, if you had to maneuver your motorcycle to avoid a collision with a driver who suddenly entered your lane, you may still seek damages from the negligent driver even without physical contact.
In Texas, the minimum liability insurance requirements for motorists involved in a motorcycle accident are set at $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury liability. It’s worth noting that it’s not uncommon for the responsible party’s insurance coverage to exceed these minimums, with some policies offering much higher limits such as $250,000 per person and $500,000 per accident.
For example, if you and a passenger are both injured in the same motorcycle collision, and the at-fault driver’s insurance policy is limited to $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident, the insurance would provide a maximum of $30,000 to each injured person, resulting in a total payout of $60,000 from the liability insurance carrier. This remains the case even if one of the individuals sustained multiple bone fractures in the accident.
Identifying all available sources of insurance coverage is crucial. To protect your legal rights, Mullen & Mullen promptly initiates claims for all potential sources of compensation, as some first-party insurance policies may have deadlines for reporting incidents. We also pursue any additional claims that may be accessible at the beginning of your case. Furthermore, our firm conducts asset searches on at-fault drivers who have low liability limits to verify whether they possess assets that could be pursued in addition to the available insurance funds. First-party insurance carriers often conduct their own asset searches before granting permission to accept a liability policy limits offer.
No, you should not. The insurance carrier recommends their preferred body shop primarily because they offer cost savings to the insurer in exchange for a high volume of business. However, these shops may not always use the best quality parts or employ the most qualified mechanics.
Instead, exercise your right to choose the repair facility for your motorcycle. You can opt for either the dealership where you purchased the motorcycle or a qualified service facility you trust. Take control of the situation by selecting who handles your bike’s repairs.
Yes, but typically only if your motorcycle can be repaired. If your motorcycle is declared totaled, you might not be eligible for a rental vehicle from the at-fault party’s insurance. Nevertheless, you could have rental coverage under your own policy that applies until your motorcycle is officially labeled a “total loss” by the liability carrier.
Yes, Mullen & Mullen is happy to assist clients in obtaining a rental car while the at-fault party’s insurance carrier assesses whether your motorcycle qualifies as a “total loss” in case any issues arise.
Certainly, but it often necessitates hiring an expert to determine the extent of the diminished value. We regularly provide financial assistance to clients to help establish diminished value when it is warranted.
If the at-fault party’s insurance carrier or your own insurer deems your motorcycle a “total loss,” you are entitled to receive the fair market value of your vehicle or compensation equivalent to the prices similar motorcycles are currently fetching in the open market. This valuation is not determined by KBB or NADA.
Are you eligible to seek compensation for non-economic losses, such as pain and emotional distress, following a motorcycle accident? If you’ve been injured in such an incident, you may have a legitimate claim for various non-economic damages, which include:
It’s important to note that quantifying these damages is not a straightforward task. Unlike medical expenses, which can be calculated with precision, determining the exact amount a jury might award for non-economic damages can be influenced by numerous factors and thus remains uncertain.
At Mullen & Mullen, we employ an active approach when assessing cases. We closely monitor recent verdicts and take into account the choice of venue for filing the lawsuit. With over 40 years of experience, our law firm has the expertise to evaluate cases based on past similar incidents with comparable injuries. Our dedicated attorneys are committed to advocating for your non-economic damages and will work collaboratively with you to establish the core elements of your injury claim.
We often create and utilize “day in the life videos” as a part of our strategy. These videos follow a client throughout their daily routine, illustrating how the accident has affected every aspect of their life. Additionally, these videos help insurance adjusters gain a better understanding of your claimed injuries and limitations, allowing them to assess how you would present your case to a jury.
Yes, but it is crucial to substantiate these damages through a preponderance of evidence. Mullen & Mullen Law Firm can provide you with the necessary documents to present to your employer to verify your lost wages.
Absolutely. Such compensation is commonly referred to as a loss of earning capacity. Mullen & Mullen Law Firm often engages economists, vocational rehabilitation consultants, or a combination of both to assist clients in confirming past lost earnings or predicting future loss of earning capacity.
If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, you may also be eligible for additional economic damages, including:
In cases involving traumatic injuries, Mullen & Mullen’s attorneys may enlist certified life care planners to establish the necessity of lifelong accommodations resulting from your injuries, and we cover this expense for you.
Exemplary damages, commonly known as punitive damages, are challenging to obtain but are designed to penalize parties at fault. To secure punitive damages, it is necessary to establish gross negligence or recklessness.
Some situations where punitive damages could be argued and potentially awarded include:
Exercise caution when dealing with injury attorneys who promise immediate results or claim to know the exact worth of your case. The value of your motorcycle accident claim hinges on various factors, some of which may be argued by the insurance adjuster. At Mullen & Mullen Law Firm, we offer our clients a contingent contract, ensuring that no attorney fees or expenses are due unless we secure a recovery for you. We are committed to achieving the highest possible settlement on your behalf.
Numerous factors can impact the value of a personal injury claim, including:
Insurance companies may attempt to argue that you were partially at fault for the motorcycle accident. They might claim that you were speeding, inattentive, or should have exercised more caution. If it is determined that you were negligent, any damages awarded by a jury would be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if a jury awards you $250,000 in damages but finds you 40% at fault, the final verdict would be adjusted to $150,000.
You can only recover damages if it is argued or a jury determines that you were not more than 50% at fault for the motorcycle collision.
Insurance companies often contest the amount of your medical bills. They may hire “independent” doctors who primarily work with automobile insurance companies to conduct “peer reviews.” These professionals, in conjunction with the insurance adjuster, may claim that some of your medical treatment was unnecessary or that your medical bills were unreasonable.
In Texas, the “Eggshell Plaintiff” doctrine is recognized, which means you are liable for any additional damages arising from the accident, even if the victim had a pre-existing injury or condition that made them more susceptible to harm. For instance, a previously asymptomatic degenerative disc disease may become painful after the accident. Mullen & Mullen’s attorneys are experienced in leveraging this doctrine and can help gather evidence, such as prior medical records and witness affidavits, to support your case.
Deciding whether to accept the insurance company’s final offer or pursue a lawsuit depends on various factors, including the associated attorney fees and case expenses. Mullen & Mullen Law Firm provides advice akin to what we would offer a close friend or family member. We always aim to recommend the option that maximizes your financial outcome while considering risk versus reward. Ultimately, the decision rests entirely with you.
When a lawsuit is initiated, several key developments usually occur:
Certainly. Some insurance adjusters and jurors may exhibit a natural inclination to stereotype all motorcyclists based on the actions of a few reckless riders they have encountered. Therefore, it becomes crucial to establish evidence proving that you were adhering to traffic regulations and operating your motorcycle safely and responsibly.
Yes, it does. Insurance adjusters may contend, and a jury could potentially find, that you bear some comparative negligence if you were not wearing a helmet. The insurance company is likely to argue that your injuries were exacerbated because you failed to comply with helmet laws, potentially diminishing your claim.
