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.

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.

We successfully resolve the majority of the claims we accept, a common achievement among legal professionals. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the potential for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
To enhance the prospects of your claim’s success, it must meet the following criteria, established through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it is more likely than not that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
To establish legal responsibility, it’s essential to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. A “duty of care” means that individuals must exercise reasonable care when they find themselves in situations where they could foreseeably harm others.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They charge for their services, signifying a professional commitment to your well-being. On the other hand, if you ask a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients and potential allergens, it generally does not give rise to a personal injury claim. This is because the grocery store clerk’s role is to sell food, not to provide medical advice on ingredients.
The next step involves proving that the negligent party failed to fulfill their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
In essence, you need to show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For instance, consider the example of driving. You have a duty to operate your vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner to prevent harm to other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you likely violated this duty of care. However, if you swerve to avoid road debris and an accident occurs, you likely did not breach your duty of care because you acted as a reasonable person would in that situation.
It’s crucial to demonstrate that the breach of the duty of care directly resulted in your injuries. Insurers often attempt to argue that your injuries stem from unrelated causes.
For instance, they might claim that previous injuries from a prior accident led to your current condition, rather than their insured’s negligent actions. This is where our team of personal injury lawyers excels – we possess the expertise to refute these assertions and establish that your injuries resulted from the other party’s negligence.
Texas has a relatively short two-year “statute of limitations.” This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years of the accident date; otherwise, the court may dismiss your claim.
While two years may seem ample, in the legal realm, it’s a relatively short period. It’s advisable to file your claim as soon as possible following the incident to ensure you gather evidence while it’s still fresh and the at-fault party has less time to prepare their defense. Avoid granting them additional opportunities to strengthen their case against you.
Texas law acknowledges that individuals can make mistakes. You don’t need to become reclusive, constantly worrying that any misstep will jeopardize your claim.
However, it’s crucial to exercise caution and avoid certain errors. For instance, posting anything on social media, no matter how innocent it may seem, can work against your interests. Insurers may use such posts to minimize their liability. Texas follows a “partial fault” system, where you can be held partially responsible for your injuries, leading to a proportionate reduction in the damages owed to you by the at-fault party.
This underscores the importance of consulting a personal injury lawyer promptly. They can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes that could result in a significant reduction in your compensation or even the loss of your claim.
Witness our legal expertise in action as we share the inspiring tale of how a client secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A truck driver was traveling west on US 287 when a lapse in attention led to an unsafe lane change. This careless maneuver resulted in a collision with another motorist, causing her to suffer a neck injury. Notably, the injured party had a history of undergoing a significant spine surgery in the past.
Regrettably, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to limit their payout obligations. We foresaw their likely argument that the driver’s injuries were partially attributed to her prior spine surgery.
However, under Texas law, the “Eggshell Doctrine” sets the precedent. This doctrine mandates that the plaintiff be taken as they are, meaning they should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate them.
To bolster the client’s case, Shane Mullen advised documenting all new and exacerbated symptoms meticulously. This entailed obtaining medical records for any symptoms that surfaced after the accident. The client underwent multiple laminectomies to rectify damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contended that the accident’s impact couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane highlighted the documented new symptoms and emphasized that even a moderate accident could worsen pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurer was compelled to disburse $962,500.00. Notably, the client benefited from our reduced 29% case fee, saving $70,000, as her claim was resolved without resorting to litigation.
