Three Best Rated: Best Business of 2023Mullen & Mullen is fantastic. I highly recommend. They helped me and my wife both get maximum policy limits on our wreck from a drunk driver… Thank you; we are really happy with the outcome… – Jimmy Casillas

Top Choice Award 2023I contacted Mullen & Mullen after I got into a bad collision with another driver. When I stepped into their office, they were professional and courteous. My attorney took the time to explain all of my options and answered every question I had. Ultimately, they got me a great settlement far greater than I expected. -Emily Dueck Arantes

I want to share our experience with Mullen & Mullen who Truly is a five star law firm. My daughter was involved in a serious accident she was 8 1/2 months pregnant and she suffered serious injuries and lost her baby. The person that hit her had no drivers license and no insurance. Not deterred by this Joseph Morrison was masterful at working our case. He was able to get our insurance company to agree to the maximum settlement under our uninsured/underinsured coverage. In addition he was also able to get our health insurance company to drop a huge lien against our settlement. Joe Morrison and his team were so empathetic to our situation. Even though there are limits to what you can be awarded under uninsured/underinsured they never made us feel unimportant. They fought for us and we felt as though they truly cared about us and wanted to have the best possible outcome. Joe Morrison was a true champion for our family and we highly recommend him and their firm. We are so glad that we chose Mullen and Mullen and so grateful for the quality services they provided. We all feel they are the best choice among many and were the right choice for our family. -Lisa Tennant

Clients Success Story: A Remarkable $962,500 Compensation Awarded for a Neck Injury Arising from a Commercial Truck Collision

Semi-Truck Accident

Observe our legal prowess in action as we share the story of a client who secured a substantial settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.

In this particular incident, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise proper caution, leading to an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver resulted in a collision with another motorist, causing her to suffer a neck injury. It’s worth noting that the injured party had a history of significant spine surgery in her medical records.

Regrettably, insurance companies often attempt to exploit pre-existing medical conditions to limit their liability. We foresaw their argument that some of the injuries might have been connected to her prior spine surgery.

However, in accordance with Texas law, the “Eggshell Doctrine” takes precedence. This principle dictates that the plaintiff should receive compensation for all injuries stemming from the accident, irrespective of any pre-existing conditions that may have exacerbated them.

To secure our client’s victory, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms arising after the accident. This entailed obtaining medical evidence supporting these symptoms. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.

When negotiations commenced with the insurer, they predictably contested that the accident’s force could not have warranted surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the well-documented new symptoms and underscored that even a moderate accident could worsen pre-existing injuries.

In the end, the insurer was compelled to pay out $962,500.00. What’s even more noteworthy, our reduced 29% case fee translated to a $70,000.00 savings for the client, as her claim was successfully settled without the need for litigation!

Preserving crucial evidence and securing witnesses are pivotal aspects of building a strong case.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Mullen & Mullen, our lawyers have a combined 95 years of experience. That means we’ve seen all kinds of personal injury cases and know how to handle each. The following are the types of cases we see most frequently, but we are not limited to these:

  • Car accidents in Plano – Plano is one of the most dangerous suburbs in the Metroplex. And the Metroplex is one of the most dangerous metro areas to drive in all of the United States. Unfortunately, you have a high chance of finding yourself in a car accident.
  • Slip and fall accidents in Plano – Property owners and retail stores do get careless. You have an obligation to act in a safe and reasonable manner too. But you shouldn’t have to pay for a slip-and-fall that’s really the property owner’s fault.
  • Truck accidents in Plano – Commercial truck drivers are frequently pushed to drive as fast and long as possible. Many aren’t concerned with your safety. We can help you get fair compensation if you find yourself in a commercial truck accident.
  • Motorcycle accidents in Plano – Drivers frequently don’t look for motorcycles. In one of the most dangerous cities to drive in all of the US, it’s possible you’ll find yourself in a motorcycle accident.
  • Work accidents in Plano – Texas law is complicated because it’s the only state that doesn’t require most employers to subscribe to workers compensation. But, that actually works to your advantage because then you can file a personal injury claim. And that’s where we can help.
  • Dog bites in Plano – No one can force dog owners to be responsible. Texas follows the “one-bite” rule which usually gives dog owners one free bit. However, this doesn’t always apply. We can get you fair compensation if you’re the victim of a dog bite.
  • Wrongful death in Plano – Any of the above situations can unfortunately result in your loved one’s death. We’re here to help you get fair compensation if it happens.

How Do You Know if You Have a Strong Claim?

Speaking at a general level, personal injury claims need a few strong criteria to be successful. Ultimately, you’ll know for certain after talking to one of our lawyers. Here’s generally what we’ll look for:

Did the Defendant Owe You A Duty of Care?

You must have a legal or formal relationship or obligation with the defendant. For example, if you fall and get hurt at a neighbor’s house, they do owe you a duty of care and you might be able to hold them liable for your injuries. However, if you have a friend who’s a doctor and they give you advice while you meet for lunch, you can’t hold them legally responsible. That’s because they don’t owe you a duty of care in that situation. However, if you see them at their office and pay for their services, they do owe you a duty of care.

Did the Defendant Breach That Duty of Care?

In legal terms, this means the defendant must act with the watchfulness, attention, and prudence that a reasonable person would under the same circumstances. Failing to meet this duty means that you can possibly hold the person financially liable if their actions caused you injuries or damages.

Did You Incur Damages as a Direct Result of the Breach?

While you may experience an injury you believe happened as a direct result of someone else’s negligence, you must prove it. This can be quite difficult in some cases. For example, whiplash may not show up until several days after a car accident. Insurers will work hard to show that such an injury happened for some reason unrelated to the car accident.

Did the Situation Happen Within the Past 2 Years?

In Texas, you have two years from the date of your accident to file your claim. Wait longer than that, and you can never again seek compensation for your injuries. At the same time, there are some exceptions to the “statute of limitations” as it is called. But these only apply to specific situations. So, you’re wise to pursue your claim as fast as possible.

Did You Make Mistakes that Would Harm Your Case?

You don’t necessarily have to be perfect and completely blameless. But unfortunately, you can make mistakes that mitigate the compensation you receive, or even cause you to lose it all. For example, if you claim to be hurt by a slip and fall and then post pictures of yourself hiking on Facebook a few days later, you might lose your claim entirely. Or, if after a car accident you choose to ignore your doctor’s advice, the insurer can argue you had some blame for your injuries too. In that case, you could possibly miss out on some compensation you would otherwise get.
