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.
Shane, Joseph and Regis have almost 100 years of combined experience practicing personal injury law. That doesn’t even include the combined experience of the attorneys that serve as of-counsel to Mullen & Mullen at no additional cost to our clients. Our firm continues to evolve, but we never forget our Core Values. We do the right thing, handle cases the way we would want our own case handled, and we truly listen to clients. We have over 40 years of local knowledge, and that matters!
Some lawyers forget that they represent the client, but we never have. Our legal team will make YOU the priority. 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.
Most firms hire an investigator to help develop evidence on your case and charge you back for that service. Our firm, however, has 2 full-time accident investigators on staff and we offer their services to you for free. This is another way we will maximize your compensation.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Video footage is worth a lot more. Our in-house videographer allows us to capture the true impact the accident has on your life beyond mere words on a piece of paper.
When necessary, Mullen & Mullen Law Firm uses cutting edge technology like 3D imaging videos to fully demonstrate the extent of our clients’ injuries to the insurance companies. This also helps maximize the value of your claim.

In Texas, you have a two-year timeframe from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim.

The preservation of evidence and securing of witnesses are pivotal to your case’s success. Therefore, it is prudent to file your claim as soon as possible following your accident. Initiate the process with a complimentary consultation from Mullen & Mullen by calling (214) 747-5240.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
