Exceptional experience with Mullen & Mullen Law Firm. They guided my sister through a highly complex post-accident situation without insurance, handling every aspect with remarkable expertise and professionalism. Their ability to coordinate with the hospital and navigate insurance challenges was truly impressive. Joe and his team were responsive, transparent, and deeply committed to achieving a fair outcome. Their dedication and client-focused approach made an otherwise overwhelming process seamless. Highly recommend their services without hesitation.
I absolutely cannot recommend this firm enough. I had an accident where I was originally blamed but I had a dash cam that showed I wasn't at fault. The other insurance attempted to pay a very small amount even though both vehicles were totaled and I was taken to the hospital with issues that are lifelong. I received numerous calls every day from attorneys but they never made me feel heard. After a ton of research, I contacted Mullen and Mullen and they came to meet with me the next day. Started working on my case immediately and were excellent at communicating and getting me what I needed every step of the way. The final settlement was seven times what I was originally offered. Josh was very upfront about everything and explained in language I understood to the point where I never had a question. There is a reason this firm has 5 stars and the reason is that they are the best. Stop searching, contact Mullen and Mullen, be patient and you'll be extremely happy with the results.
Honestly the best law firm ever, the process was easy to understand, and they are upfront about everything, keeping you inform about what is happening with your case every step of the way. They handle everything for you to make sure you are done right! Josh was too awesome! Make sure that he is with your case as well, he'll do you right. Now, this is my first time dealing with legal issues with a car insurance trying to get rid of me as soon as they can, but when I tell you that they made it felt like a piece of cake! Excellent work!
2026 Update: These were the first and only accident lawyers that I contacted with I was involved in an recent accident because I knew I will be well taken cared of. Everyone that I worked with, including the receptionists was kind, patient, and professional. They let me know what will happen step by step and how long it may take, and immediately answered all my possible questions. Zero Complaints at all, if you are patient with them, they will take care of you like First Class.
Josh Banks is amazing! After being in a very bad car accident and having to go through a lot of therapy and it was hard, after almost 2 years we finally settled and Josh didn’t allow the insurance company or anybody to take advantage of me or low ball me. He helped me every step of the way and was very professional, helpful and definitely knew what he was doing. Thank you Josh and Mullen & Mullen for everything you’ve done for me!
I can't possibly recommend this law firm more. Had a vehicle accident with the other driver blaming me and contacted Mullen and Mullen. Met with me the very next morning at a place I chose and started working on my case the same day. From doctor visits to dealing with the other insurance company, it was extremely easy with them handling it. Josh stayed in contact the entire time giving me updates and what step they were on with the process. I had zero experience in this and I now feel like a pro with how much he explained and the detail he gave. Save yourself time and energy and just stick with this firm.
I appreciate Joshua and the rest of the Mullen and Mullen law firm for helping me during this time. It was definitely a process when accidents occur but this team was truly there. They communicate and educated me on the process. I really appreciate the team at Mullen and Mullen. I recommend them to anyone.
After my car accident, Joseph Morrison, provided the expert guidance I needed. They were honest, responsive, and worked tirelessly on my case. I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Mullen & Mullen to anyone in need of a great personal injury lawyer. Thanks again.
Overall my experience with Mullen & Mullen was great! Extremely grateful for the entire team. Since the beginning they all made me feel like I was in great hands and the support was phenomenal. They kept in touch with me throughout my recovery made sure I was healing properly from my injury, always answered all the questions I had promptly and kept me in the loop with my case. Highly recommend this Law Firm to anyone who is seeking legal representation.
THE REAL DEAL ! No bullshit. They care about YOUR WELL BEING. JACK-My attorney personally called me KIM C- Great communication paralegal/legal aid MATT-Case advisor, got me GOID HEALTHCARE
Mullen & Mullen made the entire process after my car accident so much easier. They allowed me to focus on healing while they took care of everything else, from dealing with the insurance company to handling all the details I didn’t have the energy for. They always answered all of my questions truthfully and upfront without giving me the run around or being hard to reach.
I especially want to shout out Greg, who communicated with me every step of the way and always made sure I knew exactly where we were in the process. His updates and transparency made everything feel so much less stressful.
I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them!!!

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.
