INJURED AND NOT AT FAULT?
NO FEES UNLESS YOU COLLECT
In the last four years, our firm made Top Verdict’s “Top 50” Personal Injury Settlements in Texas list 44 times, and the “Top 100” list 70 times.
Personal injury firms take 33.3% – 35% on pre-suit settlements. Our family puts more of YOUR settlement money in your pocket by offering a discounted 29% contingency fee on pre-suit settlements. Most of our claims settle without the filing of a lawsuit.
According to TopVerdict.com, our attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the state. As a matter of fact, in the last five years, we’ve made their Texas “Top” lists 105 times. We also placed on their #1 settlements list for Dallas county (in different categories) 9 times. (2025 lists not yet published). When you factor in our reduced 29% contingency fee, we are confident we will help you recover more. At Mullen & Mullen, we pride ourselves on routinely recovering full policy limits for our clients without the necessity of costly and time-consuming litigation.
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 104 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.

With over four decades of experience, our legal professionals have assisted numerous individuals in successfully navigating the claims process, recuperating from physical injuries, and obtaining the rightful financial compensation they deserve.


To bolster your claim’s chances of success, certain key elements must be substantiated through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This essentially means that the odds are in your favor, greater than 50%, that the other party’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:

For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive education and professional expertise. They are expected to act with a level of competence beyond that of a layperson.
Conversely, if you inquire with a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients that may cause allergic reactions, you likely don’t have grounds for a personal injury claim. The clerk’s duty does not extend to providing medical advice; they are paid to distribute and sell food.

Essentially, you need to show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, in the context of driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a reasonable manner that doesn’t endanger other motorists. Texting while driving, resulting in an accident, likely constitutes a breach of this duty.
Conversely, if you swerve to avoid road debris and inadvertently cause an accident, you are less likely to have breached your duty of care, as you acted in a manner that a reasonable person would likely have in the same situation.

This is where our personal injury lawyers excel. We possess the expertise to refute the insurer’s claims and establish that your injuries resulted from the negligent behavior of their customer.

While two years might appear ample, it is relatively brief in the legal realm. Filing your claim promptly is advisable as it enables you to gather evidence more effectively. Waiting provides the at-fault party more time to prepare their defense, which may not be in your best interest.

Texas operates under a “partial fault” system, meaning you can be partially responsible for your injuries. This can reduce the amount the at-fault party owes you in proportion to your responsibility.
Hence, consulting a personal injury lawyer promptly is wise. They can guide you in avoiding costly mistakes and ensure that you receive the compensation you rightfully deserve.

The incident transpired as a truck driver was traveling westbound on US 287, yet a momentary lapse in attention led to an unsafe lane change. Regrettably, this action resulted in a collision with another motorist, causing her to sustain a neck injury. It is noteworthy that the injured motorist had previously undergone major spine surgery.
Regrettably, the existence of pre-existing medical conditions often furnishes insurance companies with a pretext to limit their financial liability. We fully expected the insurance company to argue that the driver’s injuries were, at least in part, attributable to her prior significant spine surgery.
While it is true that a prior surgery can have an impact on current injuries, it is vital to note that Texas law operates under a principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine.” This doctrine dictates that the injured party must be taken as they are found, meaning they are entitled to compensation for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries.
In a strategic move to bolster our client’s case, attorney Shane Mullen recommended a meticulous documentation of any new or intensified symptoms following the accident. Consequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations with the insurer commenced, their stance predictably contested the notion that the accident’s force could necessitate surgical intervention. In response, Shane Mullen drew attention to the well-documented emergence of new symptoms, underscoring that even a moderate accident had the potential to aggravate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, our determined efforts compelled the insurer to settle the claim for a substantial $962,500. Our client also benefited from a reduced case fee of 29%, resulting in savings of $70,000, as her claim was successfully resolved without the need for litigation.
