LOWEST PRE-SUIT CONTINGENCY FEE

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION?
At Mullen & Mullen, we prioritize settling claims successfully, setting us apart from other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth. We offer a higher chance of maximizing your settlement funds. To ensure your claim’s success, specific elements must be proven through a “preponderance of the evidence,” meaning it’s more than 50% likely that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
Did The At-Fault Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?
For legal liability, it’s crucial to establish that the defendant owed you a duty of care, meaning they should have acted with reasonable care to avoid harm. For instance, a doctor owes a duty of care due to their expertise, but a grocery store clerk doesn’t when asked about product ingredients.
Was The Duty Of Care Breached?
You must prove that the negligent party failed to meet their duty of care. This involves demonstrating their unreasonable behavior in a given situation. For example, texting while driving breaches the duty of care, while swerving to avoid debris might not.
Did You Suffer Damages Due To The Breach?
It’s essential to show that the breach led to your injuries, despite efforts by insurers to attribute them to unrelated causes. Skilled personal injury lawyers can refute these claims and establish the connection between the negligence and your injuries.
Did Your Damages Occur Within The Last 2 Years?
In Texas, you have a two-year statute of limitations to file your claim from the date of the accident. Acting promptly is crucial as delay makes evidence collection challenging and gives the at-fault party more time to build their defense.
Did You Avoid Critical Mistakes?
While you don’t need to be perfect, certain errors can harm your case. Insurers may use your social media posts against you, and Texas being a partial fault state means your compensation reduces proportionately if you share responsibility for your injuries. Seeking advice from a personal injury lawyer early on helps you avoid costly missteps and safeguards your claim.
CASE STUDY
To witness our legal expertise in action, explore the following case study illustrating how a client secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
In this case, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 when they negligently made an unsafe lane change, colliding with another motorist who subsequently suffered a neck injury. It’s essential to note that the injured party had a significant history of prior spine surgery, which insurance companies often exploit to reduce their payout.
Unfortunately, pre-existing medical conditions can become a point of contention for insurance providers, potentially diminishing the compensation owed to the injured party. We anticipated that the insurance company would likely argue that at least some of the injuries were linked to the client’s previous spine surgery.
However, under Texas law, the “Eggshell Doctrine” standard prevails, meaning that the plaintiff must be taken as they are found. This implies that the injured party should be compensated for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbated those injuries.
To assist our client in winning her claim, Shane Mullen recommended the diligent documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms. This involved obtaining medical records for any new symptoms that arose after the accident. The client underwent multiple laminectomies to rectify the damage to her vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurer commenced, they predictably contended that the accident’s force couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the documented new symptoms and the fact that even a moderate accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to settle the case for $962,500.00. Additionally, our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, saving $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for litigation.
