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.

(GROSS SETTLEMENTS LISTED BELOW BEFORE FEES AND EXPENSES)
In Texas, you have a two-year timeframe from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim. While this may seem like a generous duration, it is essential to act swiftly. Defendants often tamper with evidence promptly. The preservation of evidence and securing witnesses are critical for your case. Therefore, it is wise to initiate your claim as soon as possible after your accident. You can commence the process with a complimentary consultation from Mullen & Mullen by calling (214) 747-5240.
Our dedicated local team demonstrates a steadfast commitment to your welfare, coupled with a strong work ethic.
Since 1983, Mullen & Mullen has been championing the legal rights of North Texans. With over four decades of experience, our legal professionals have guided countless individuals through the claims process, facilitated their recovery from physical injuries, and ensured they received the rightful financial compensation.
The average industry fee is 33.3%-35%. Our exceptional track record allows us to offer a pre-suit contingency fee that is well below industry standards at just 29%, leaving more of your settlement in your pocket.
At Mullen & Mullen, we aim to settle the majority of claims we take on, just like most other lawyers do. However, what sets us apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.
To enhance the likelihood of your claim’s success, several critical elements need to be substantiated through a “preponderance of the evidence.” In simpler terms, this means there should be a greater than 50% probability that the negligence of the other party directly contributed to your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
To establish legal liability, it’s imperative to demonstrate that the defendant had a duty of care towards you. A “duty of care” simply implies that one must act with reasonable caution in situations where harm to someone else could be foreseen.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care. They underwent years of training and charge for their services, indicating a certain level of expertise beyond the layperson. However, seeking advice about allergens in a grocery store product from a clerk is unlikely to form the basis of a personal injury claim. In this case, the clerk’s duties are related to distributing and selling food, not providing medical advice regarding ingredients.
Subsequently, it is necessary to establish that the party in question breached their duty of care. This can be especially challenging, particularly in cases of medical malpractice.
In essence, it is vital to demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, while driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a manner that does not jeopardize the safety of other drivers. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely constitute a breach of this duty. On the other hand, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and subsequently cause an accident, you probably haven’t breached your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation. In such instances, it is unlikely that anyone can sue you for resulting damages.
It is crucial to prove that the breach of the duty of care directly led to your injuries. Insurance companies often make efforts to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes. For example, they might argue that your current injuries are the result of a previous accident rather than their customer’s negligent behavior.
This is where our personal injury lawyers step in. We possess the expertise to counter insurance companies’ claims and establish that your injuries indeed occurred due to the negligence of the other party.
Texas has a relatively short “statute of limitations” of two years. This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident. Failure to do so will result in the court dismissing your claim if you attempt to file it later.
While two years may seem like a substantial timeframe, in the legal realm, it is rather limited. It is advisable to file your claim as soon as possible after your accident. Delaying the process makes gathering evidence more challenging and provides the at-fault party with additional time to build their defense. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to take prompt action.
Texas law acknowledges that individuals can make mistakes and still pursue legal claims. However, it’s essential to be cautious about specific missteps. For example, posting anything on social media, regardless of how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers have been known to use social media content against claimants.
It’s worth noting that Texas follows a “partial fault” system, which means that you can be assigned partial responsibility for your injuries. This can lead to a reduction in the compensation owed to you by the at-fault party. Hence, seeking guidance from a personal injury lawyer at the earliest opportunity is wise, as they can provide advice on avoiding pitfalls that could potentially cost you thousands of dollars or even jeopardize your claim entirely.
Witness our legal expertise in action as we recount the story of how one of our clients triumphed with a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
The scenario unfolded when a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise due care, resulting in an unsafe lane change. This recklessness led to a collision with another motorist who suffered a neck injury. It is worth noting that the injured party had previously undergone a significant spinal surgery, which posed a potential challenge, as insurance companies often employ pre-existing conditions to reduce their payout obligations.
The inherent predicament with pre-existing conditions is that insurance companies may attempt to attribute a portion of the injuries to the individual’s prior medical history. In this case, we foresaw such an argument and prepared accordingly.
Texas law, guided by the “Eggshell Doctrine,” holds that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries. This principle underscores that one must take the plaintiff as they are, regardless of their prior medical history.
To bolster our client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms resulting from the accident. This involved obtaining medical records detailing the client’s post-accident symptoms. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contended that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. Shane skillfully highlighted the documented new symptoms and underscored that even a moderate accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurance company was compelled to pay a substantial settlement of $962,500.00. Moreover, our client benefited from a 29% reduced case fee, saving her $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for legal action.
