I had been searching for some answers with regard to a lawsuit filed against me stemming from a vehicle accident in which I was responsible for. Unfortunately, there were no law firms that I was able to get in contact with that were willing just to provide me with a bit of insight as to what to expect of this lawsuit, potential escalation and potential outcomes. Although Mullen and Mullen is a personal injury law firm representing plaintiffs, Ephraim Goldberg was kind enough to speak with me in basic terms about what to expect as a defendant. Speaking to a live person who can provide some professional guidance, empathy and understanding is much more of a relief over searching for answers through Google searches and AI responses. Thank you Ephraim for your time and sharing knowledge.
If you need anyone for a paralegal, I HIGHLY recommend 100000% Josh Banks. Josh Is literally the absolute best EVER!!! I cannot say enough good things about him! He went above and beyond for me always. I was in a horrible car accident where someone hit me from behind while I was sitting stopped in traffic and they hit me going 60 plus miles an hour. I hired Josh from Mullen and Mullen and he got me more money than he originally thought he would get. He worked so hard for me! I cannot say enough good things about him and his hard work that he put in for me and he took care of me the best that I could have ever asked for! I highly highly recommend Josh Banks from Mullen and Mullen! He always was very attentive and answered all of my questions even if I asked him the same questions multiple times. He was very responsive to all of my text messages and was always available to help me every step of the way and explained everything to me into very intense detail. If you need a paralegal, Josh Banks is your guy!

DO YOU HAVE A STRONG CLAIM?
At Mullen & Mullen, we strive to settle the majority of the claims we accept, just like most lawyers do. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is your enhanced potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.
To maximize the likelihood of your claim’s success, several key elements must be established with a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it is more probable than not that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
Was There 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. This duty of care essentially implies that they should act reasonably in situations that could foreseeably harm others.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They are expected to provide a level of care beyond that of an average person. On the other hand, if you inquire with a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients and potential allergic reactions, you likely do not have grounds for a personal injury claim. The clerk’s duty is to sell food, not to offer medical advice regarding its contents.
Was The Duty Of Care Breached?
The next step is proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
In essence, you must demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, in the context of driving, there is an obligation to operate a vehicle in a manner that does not endanger other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you have likely breached your duty of care toward other motorists. However, if you swerve to avoid road debris and cause an accident, you probably haven’t breached your duty of care because you acted as a reasonable person would in the same circumstances. In such a scenario, it’s unlikely anyone can sue you for resulting damages.
Did The Breach Lead To Your Injuries?
You must also establish a causal link between the breach of duty of care and your injuries. Insurance companies often work diligently to argue that your injuries resulted from unrelated causes. For instance, they might claim that injuries from a prior accident are responsible for your current condition, rather than their customer’s negligent behavior.
This is where our personal injury attorneys excel. We possess the expertise to counter insurers’ arguments and demonstrate that your injuries indeed stem from the negligence of their customer.
Did The Damages Occur Within The Past 2 Years?
In Texas, there is a relatively short two-year statute of limitations. This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years of the date of your accident. Failure to do so could result in the dismissal of your claim by the court.
Although two years might seem ample, in the legal realm, it is a limited timeframe. Therefore, it is advisable to file your claim as promptly as possible following the accident. Delaying the process makes it more challenging to gather evidence and gives the at-fault party more time to build their defense. Don’t provide them any additional advantages.
Did You Avoid Critical Errors?
Texas law does not require perfection. You need not isolate yourself from society, living in fear that any misstep will jeopardize your claim. However, it’s crucial to be cautious and avoid certain mistakes.
For example, sharing content on social media, no matter how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers can potentially use anything you post against you. Additionally, since Texas is a “partial fault state,” where you can be found partially responsible for your injuries, insurers might seek to minimize their liability by attributing some blame to you. This underscores the importance of consulting with a personal injury lawyer promptly to receive guidance on avoiding mistakes that could jeopardize your claim and cost you substantial compensation.
SUCCESS STORY: OVERCOMING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT CASE
Witness our legal expertise in action through this compelling story, showcasing how a client triumphed in securing a settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.
On a routine day, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise caution, leading to an unsafe lane change. Tragically, this resulted in a collision with a motorist who suffered a neck injury. Complicating matters, the motorist had a significant history of spine surgery.
Insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to diminish their payouts. We foresaw this challenge and anticipated the argument that the driver’s injuries were partially due to her prior spine surgery.
In Texas, the law abides by the “Eggshell Doctrine,” mandating compensation for all injuries attributable to the accident, irrespective of pre-existing conditions exacerbating them.
To bolster our client’s case, attorney Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or intensified symptoms arising post-accident. This involved thorough medical records detailing the client’s multiple laminectomies, procedures to repair damaged vertebrae.
During negotiations with the insurer, the predictable defense emerged, asserting that the accident’s impact couldn’t have necessitated surgery. Shane strategically emphasized the documented new symptoms, highlighting how even a moderate accident could aggravate existing injuries.
Ultimately, our tenacity prevailed, compelling the insurer to pay $962,500.00. Notably, our client saved $70,000 due to our reduced 29% case fee, as her claim was settled without resorting to a lawsuit. This victory underscores our dedication to securing the rightful compensation for our clients, even in challenging circumstances.
