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.

Our experienced local team exhibits a steadfast dedication to your welfare.
Mullen & Mullen has been championing the legal rights of North Texans since 1983. Over the past four decades, our legal professionals have assisted countless individuals in navigating the claims process, healing from physical injuries, and securing the rightful financial compensation they deserve.
The average industry fee is 33.3%-35%. Our exceptional track record allows us to offer a pre-suit contingency fee that is well below industry standards at just 29%, leaving more of your settlement in your pocket.
At Mullen & Mullen, we prioritize settling the majority of claims we accept, much like most lawyers do. However, what sets us apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for you to secure a more substantial settlement.
To increase the likelihood of a successful claim, certain key elements must be demonstrated with a “preponderance of the evidence,” indicating that the odds are greater than 50% that the negligence of the other party resulted in your injuries.
Here are the crucial factors we examine:
To establish legal liability, it’s essential to establish that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” essentially means that individuals must act with reasonable care when in situations that could potentially harm others.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their specialized expertise. However, if you inquire about a product’s ingredients at a grocery store, you likely do not have a personal injury claim, as the store clerk doesn’t have a duty of care in that context. They are responsible for distributing and selling food, not providing medical advice on ingredients.
The next step is proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care, which can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice. In essence, you need to demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation.
For example, consider driving. You have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a reasonable manner that doesn’t endanger other motorists. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you have likely violated your duty of care. Conversely, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and cause an accident, it’s likely you did not breach your duty of care, as your actions were in line with what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation.
You must establish that the breach in the duty of care resulted in your injuries. Insurers often attempt to argue that your injuries were caused by unrelated factors. For example, they might claim that your current injuries are a result of a prior accident, not their customer’s negligence.
This is where our personal injury lawyers excel – we know how to refute these arguments and prove that your injuries indeed stemmed from the negligent behavior of the at-fault party.
Texas enforces a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations,” meaning you must file your legal claim within 2 years of the accident date. Failure to do so may result in your claim being dismissed. While two years may seem like a substantial period, in the legal realm, it’s relatively short. We strongly recommend filing your claim as soon as possible after your accident to gather evidence effectively and limit the opposing party’s defense time.
Texas law permits imperfection, but certain mistakes must be avoided. For instance, sharing any content on social media, no matter how innocent it seems, is ill-advised, as insurers can use it against you. Texas being a “partial fault state” means you can be found partially responsible for your injuries, reducing the amount the at-fault party might owe you. Consulting a personal injury lawyer early is crucial to receive guidance on avoiding errors that could potentially cost you thousands or even jeopardize your claim entirely.
To witness our legal expertise in action, please read this concise narrative detailing how we secured a settlement of $962,500.00 for a client who suffered a neck injury in a commercial truck accident:
A commercial truck was traveling westbound on US 287 when the driver, regrettably, failed to exercise due diligence, resulting in an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver led to a collision with another motorist, who sustained a neck injury. Importantly, this motorist had previously undergone significant spinal surgery, adding complexity to the case.
In the insurance industry, pre-existing medical conditions are often exploited to limit payouts. We fully anticipated that the insurance company would contend that some of the driver’s injuries were attributable to her prior spinal surgery.
It is worth noting that Texas law upholds a doctrine known as “The Eggshell Doctrine,” which stipulates that a plaintiff must be compensated for all injuries resulting from an accident, regardless of whether pre-existing conditions exacerbated them.
To secure a favorable outcome for our client, Shane Mullen recommended the diligent documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms. This entailed obtaining medical records that showcased any fresh symptoms emerging after the accident. The client subsequently underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damage to her vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurer commenced, they predictably argued that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the documented new symptoms and underscored that even a moderately severe accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, our efforts compelled the insurer to disburse $962,500.00. Notably, our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, amounting to savings of $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for litigation.
