Personal injury firms take 33.3% – 35% on pre-suit settlements. Our family puts more of YOUR settlement money in your pocket by offering a discounted 29% contingency fee on pre-suit settlements. Most of our claims settle without the filing of a lawsuit.
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.

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.

In Texas, you have a two-year period from the date of your accident to initiate your personal injury claim. This may seem ample, but it’s essential to act swiftly, as defendants may deliberately tamper with or destroy evidence. Preserving evidence and securing witnesses are pivotal to the success of your case. Therefore, it is prudent to file your claim as soon as possible following your accident. You can initiate the process with a complimentary consultation with Mullen & Mullen by calling (214) 747-5240.

The majority of claims we accept are successfully resolved, a common achievement among lawyers. Nevertheless, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
In order to optimize the success of your claim, specific criteria must be established through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This entails demonstrating that it is more likely than not that the negligence of the other party contributed to your injuries.
Here are the key elements we assess:
To establish legal liability, it is imperative to prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” essentially means that individuals must exercise reasonable care when their actions could foreseeably harm someone else.
For instance, a doctor has a duty of care due to their extensive education and service charges, reflecting a higher level of expertise. Conversely, seeking advice about an allergenic ingredient from a grocery store clerk typically does not warrant a personal injury claim, as they lack a duty of care in that specific regard. Their role primarily involves the distribution and sale of food rather than providing medical advice.
Next, it is essential to demonstrate that the negligent party violated their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
In essence, you must establish that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, safe driving involves a duty of care to prevent harm to other motorists. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely constitute a breach of this duty. However, if you swerve to avoid debris in the road and cause an accident, you may not have breached your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
Moreover, you must prove that the breach of duty led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes. For instance, they may argue that your current injuries stem from a prior accident, not their customer’s negligent conduct.
This is where our personal injury lawyers excel. We possess the expertise to refute the insurer’s claims and establish that your injuries indeed resulted from their customer’s negligence.
In Texas, there exists a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations.” In essence, you must file your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident, or the court will dismiss your claim if filed later.
While two years may appear ample, in the legal realm, it’s a limited timeframe. It is advisable to initiate your claim promptly after the accident. Delaying the process makes evidence collection more challenging, and it provides the at-fault party with additional time to prepare their defense. Avoid offering them any unnecessary advantages.
Texan law permits imperfection; however, certain errors must be avoided. For instance, sharing content on social media, regardless of its perceived innocence, can be detrimental. Insurers have a knack for manipulating anything you post against you.
It’s worth noting that insurers may not necessarily aim to invalidate your claim entirely. Given that Texas is a “partial fault state,” you could be found partially responsible for your injuries, which would reduce the amount the at-fault party owes you proportionally to your level of responsibility.
This further underscores the importance of consulting a personal injury lawyer as early as possible. They can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes that might cost you thousands of dollars or even jeopardize your claim altogether.
To witness our legal prowess in action, explore this concise narrative highlighting how a client secured a substantial settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained during a commercial truck accident:
A commercial truck driver was traveling westward along US 287 when an inattentive maneuver led to an unsafe lane change. This abrupt lane change resulted in a collision with a motorist who suffered a significant neck injury. Notably, the injured motorist had a history of undergoing a major spinal surgery.
It is unfortunate that insurance companies often attempt to leverage pre-existing conditions as a means to minimize their financial liability. In this case, it was anticipated that the insurer would contend that a portion of the driver’s injuries could be attributed to her prior spinal surgery.
However, under Texas law, a principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine” is applied. This doctrine dictates that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions worsen those injuries. In essence, you must take the plaintiff as you find them.
To bolster the client’s case and help secure a favorable outcome, our attorney Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms that emerged after the accident. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contested that the accident’s force couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane highlighted the documented new symptoms and emphasized that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurance company was compelled to make a settlement payment of $962,500.00. Furthermore, our client benefited from a reduced case fee of 29%, saving her $70,000 as her claim was successfully settled without the need for litigation.
