DO YOU HAVE A STRONG CLAIM?

We frequently resolve the claims we accept, as do most lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is your increased chance of securing a more substantial settlement.

To maximize your claim’s potential for success, certain key elements must be established through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means there should be more than a 50% likelihood that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.

Here are the critical factors we consider:

Was A Duty Of Care Owed By The At-Fault Party?

To establish legal liability, it is essential to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. A “duty of care” implies that one must exercise reasonable caution in situations that could potentially harm others.

For instance, your physician owes you a duty of care due to their specialized knowledge and professional role. They are expected to act with a level of expertise beyond that of an ordinary person. In contrast, if you seek information about a product’s ingredients from a grocery store clerk, it is unlikely to warrant a personal injury claim. Their role is to distribute and sell goods, not to offer medical advice about allergens.

Was The Duty Of Care Breached?

The next step is to prove that the negligent party violated 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 given situation. For instance, in the context of driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a way that does not harm other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you have likely breached your duty of care. On the other hand, if you swerve to avoid road debris and an accident occurs, it’s probable that you have not breached your duty of care since your actions were consistent with what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation.

Did The Breach Result In Your Injuries?

You must also establish that the breach in the duty of care directly caused your injuries. Insurers often attempt to argue that your injuries stem from unrelated factors. For instance, they may claim that prior injuries from a previous accident are responsible for your current condition, rather than their customer’s negligent behavior. This is where our personal injury lawyers excel in disproving such claims and demonstrating that your injuries indeed resulted from the negligence of the at-fault party.

Did Your Damages Occur In The Past 2 Years?

In Texas, there is a relatively short two-year “statute of limitations.” This means you must file your legal claim within two years of the date of your accident. Failure to do so will result in your claim being dismissed by the court if you attempt to file it later.

While two years may seem ample, in the legal realm, it is a brief window. It is advisable to file your claim promptly after your accident. The longer you wait, the more challenging it becomes to gather evidence, and the at-fault party gains more time to build their defense. Therefore, it’s essential not to provide them with unnecessary advantages.

Have You Avoided Significant Errors?

Texas law allows for imperfections, and you need not become reclusive or overly cautious in your daily life. However, certain mistakes should be avoided. For example, sharing anything on social media, no matter how innocuous it may seem, is unwise. Insurers may twist your posts to your disadvantage.

In Texas, being a “partial fault state,” means you can be deemed partially responsible for your injuries. Consequently, the amount the at-fault party might owe you could be reduced in proportion to your share of the responsibility.

This is why consulting with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is a wise decision. They can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes and help you safeguard your claim, potentially saving you thousands of dollars or even preventing the loss of your claim altogether.

CASE STUDY: SUCCESSFULLY SECURING COMPENSATION FOR A NECK INJURY IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT

In this illustrative case study, we showcase our legal expertise by demonstrating how we helped a client obtain a substantial settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.

The incident revolved around a situation where a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but, regrettably, failed to exercise due diligence and executed an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver led to a collision with another motorist, resulting in a neck injury. Notably, the injured party had a significant spine surgery in her medical history.

Regrettably, insurance companies often use pre-existing conditions as a basis to reduce their payout obligations. In this case, we anticipated that the insurer might argue that the driver’s injuries were partially attributable to her prior major spine surgery.

However, it is important to understand that Texas law follows a legal doctrine known as “The Eggshell Doctrine.” This principle dictates that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries caused by the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries. It obliges us to consider the claimant’s condition as it was, irrespective of pre-existing health issues.

To enhance our client’s chances of success, our attorney, Shane Mullen, advised her to diligently document any new or aggravated symptoms stemming from the accident. This strategy required the client to obtain medical documentation for any symptoms that emerged post-accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.

When negotiations commenced with the insurance company, their stance was predictably resistant. They contended that the accident’s force couldn’t have warranted surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the documented new symptoms and the fact that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.

Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to settle the case for $962,500.00. Notably, our client benefited from substantial savings as our case fee was reduced to 29%, amounting to a saving of $70,000 since her claim was resolved without resorting to a lawsuit.
