I cannot recommend this law firm enough. After a serious accident involving a truck and a semi, I was left with significant injuries and unsure of where to turn. From the moment I reached out, their team took charge and handled everything with professionalism and care. They not only made sure my medical needs were addressed but also fought tirelessly to secure the compensation I deserved.Thanks to their expertise, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable with the process. Ultimately, they helped me win a significant settlement that covered both my medical bills and provided financial security for my future.If you’re facing a tough personal injury case, these are the people you want in your corner. Their dedication and skill made all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me.
Mullen and Mullen took care of me and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Greg was very professional and informed me of all my options. Would recommend for personal injury representation
Josh did a really good job for me on my accident case! I would recommend Mullen and Mullen to anyone!
So grateful we called Mullen & Mullen after our car accident. They made sure we got medical care ASAP, as well as handled everything with the insurance company. Greg really made the whole process painless and always kept us up to date with the status/ progress with our case. Would recommend Mullen & Mullen to anyone
Mullen & Mullen is a great law firm I would definitely recommend. From the start with Micheal F. He showed great compassion for our case and made me feel like he really wanted to help. To the end with Greg, he was very knowledgeable and only excepted what he believed we deserved nothing less. If you are ever in an accident you should definitely reach out to them!
When my second auto accident occured last year, my first call out of the hospital was to Mullen and Mullen. Shane Mullen had represented me in an accident 2 years earlier and I wanted his counsel again. This is an attorney who, not only understands how the system works, but also understands what the victims are experiencing. For me there was no other choice. Everyone in this firm is understanding and sympathetic and that's why they are the best. Shane was able to get me the medical attention I needed and the best settlement. This is a first class law firm who will help you through the ordeal.
I had the pleasure of working with Josh Banks and Mullen & Mullen after my car accident. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the start, Josh was professional, attentive, and kept me informed every step of the way. He truly went above and beyond to handle my case and made sure all my concerns were addressed promptly. The entire team at Mullen & Mullen was supportive and responsive, and Josh's dedication really made a difference. I highly recommend Josh Banks and Mullen & Mullen to anyone in need of a reliable, experienced personal injury lawyer. They made the entire process stress-free and got me the results I was hoping for.
I recently finalized a car accident settlement with the help of Josh Banks. He got me way more than I was expecting. He answered any questions I had, and offered me all the options I had to choose from. It took a little longer than I wanted but in the end it was worth the wait. I'm extremely satisfied I had him as my lawyer.
Let me start by saying, that I couldn’t be happier with choosing Mullen and Mullen to represent me for my personal injury case. From my first phone call to the final result, I was treated with respect and absolute courtesy. While searching for a firm to represent me, and going through dozens of reviews, I noticed that the number one complaint from most people was, they weren’t kept in touch with in what could be a very lengthy process. The attorneys who represented me, Gregg and Josh, never left me hanging for an answer, and always returned my calls in a very timely manner, keeping me up-to-date with every detail of my case. To say they were professional is an understatement, and I’m so pleased with the final result that words aren’t enough to express my gratitude. And every time I called, B, usually answered, and was always very upbeat and direct to my call promptly, or made sure I received a return call as soon as possible. I highly recommend using Mullen & Mullen if you’ve been involved in an accident, resulting in a personal injury.Gary SchmidtLittle Elm, Texas

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DO YOU HAVE A STRONG CLAIM?

At Mullen & Mullen, we specialize in settling the majority of the claims we accept, much like most other lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is our commitment to maximizing the settlement funds that end up in your pocket.

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:

Did The At-Fault Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?

To establish legal liability, it’s crucial to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” simply implies that an individual must exercise reasonable care when placed in a situation that could potentially harm someone.

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.

Was The Duty Of Care Breached?

The next step involves demonstrating that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in medical malpractice cases.

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.

Did You Experience Damages As A Result Of The Breach?

The subsequent requirement is to demonstrate that the breach in the duty of care directly led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes, such as previous accidents.

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.

Did Your Damages Occur In The Past 2 Years?

In Texas, there is a relatively short two-year “statute of limitations.” This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident, or the court may dismiss your claim.

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.

Did You Avoid Critical Errors?

Texas law allows for imperfections, but certain mistakes must be avoided. For example, sharing content on social media, even seemingly innocent posts, is not advisable, as insurers may use them against you.

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.

SUCCESS STORY: SECURING $962,500 FOR A NECK INJURY IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT

In a compelling illustration of our legal expertise, we present the following narrative detailing how we achieved a remarkable $962,500 settlement for a client who suffered a neck injury in a commercial truck accident:

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.
