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.

Mullen & Mullen has been championing the legal rights of North Texans since 1983.

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 specialize in personal injury cases, and we want to emphasize that your chances of receiving a substantial settlement are significantly higher when you choose us. To assess the potential success of your claim, we evaluate various key factors established by a “preponderance of the evidence,” meaning there’s more than a 50% chance that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we consider:
To establish legal liability, it’s crucial to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. In essence, this means they had a responsibility to act reasonably when their actions could foreseeably harm someone. For instance, a doctor owes you a duty of care due to their medical expertise, while a grocery store clerk does not when it comes to providing medical advice.
The next step is to prove that the negligent party failed to meet their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases like medical malpractice. Essentially, you must show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, if your actions while driving, such as texting, cause an accident, you likely breached your duty of care. However, swerving to avoid road debris may be considered a reasonable action.
It’s essential to demonstrate that the breach of duty led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes, such as past accidents. Our experienced personal injury lawyers are skilled at disproving such claims and establishing that your injuries resulted from the negligence of the other party.
In Texas, there is a relatively short 2-year statute of limitations, meaning you must file your legal claim within two years of the accident. Failing to do so could result in the dismissal of your claim. Time is of the essence in gathering evidence and mounting a strong case.
While Texas law allows room for imperfection, you should be cautious about making certain mistakes. Avoid sharing anything on social media, as insurers may use it against you. Texas follows a “partial fault” system, meaning your compensation could be reduced proportionally to your responsibility for the injuries. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer early on can help you avoid costly mistakes and maximize your claim’s potential.
To witness our legal expertise in action, delve into this concise account illustrating how a client secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
A truck driver was traveling westbound on US 287 when a momentary lapse in attention led to an unsafe lane change, resulting in a collision with a motorist who subsequently suffered a neck injury. Notably, the motorist had a history of significant spine surgery in her medical records.
Regrettably, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to minimize their payout obligations. We foresaw that they might contend that the driver’s injuries partially stemmed from her prior major spine surgery.
While it’s plausible that a previous surgery could impact current injuries, Texas law invokes the “Eggshell Doctrine.” This principle mandates that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries attributable to the accident, even if pre-existing conditions worsen those injuries.
To secure our client’s victory, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms. This involved procuring medical records that detailed any fresh symptoms emerging post-accident. The client underwent multiple laminectomies to rectify damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations commenced with the insurer, their predictable stance was that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the documented emergence of new symptoms and the likelihood that even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer conceded, resulting in a $962,500.00 settlement. Moreover, our reduced 29% case fee saved the client $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for litigation.
