INJURED AND NOT AT FAULT?
NO FEES UNLESS YOU COLLECT
In the last 3 years, we’ve made TopVerdict’s annual Texas “Top 50 Personal Injury Settlements” list 43 times.
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. 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.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
