Is Your Claim Viable?
Most claims we accept are settled, a common occurrence among lawyers. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.
To maximize your claim’s chance of success, certain elements must be proven by a “preponderance of the evidence,” meaning it’s more likely than not that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries. Here’s what we assess:
Did the At-Fault Party Owe You a Duty of Care?
To establish legal liability, you must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. A “duty of care” implies acting with reasonable caution when involved in situations that could foreseeably harm others.
For example, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their expertise. On the other hand, asking a grocery store clerk about allergenic ingredients in a product generally doesn’t constitute a personal injury claim, as they lack a duty of care in that context.
Was the Duty of Care Breached?
The next step is proving that the negligent party violated their duty of care, which can be challenging, especially in medical malpractice cases. Essentially, you must show that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation.
For instance, when driving, you have a duty to operate your vehicle reasonably to avoid harming other drivers. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely be a breach of that duty. However, swerving to avoid road debris and causing an accident would likely not be a breach, as it’s a reasonable action in such a situation.
Did You Suffer Damages Due to the Breach?
You must establish that the breach of duty directly led to your injuries. Insurers often attempt to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes, such as past accidents.
Our personal injury lawyers are adept at disproving such claims and demonstrating that your injuries resulted from the negligent actions of the other party.
Did Your Damages Occur Within the Past 2 Years?
Texas has a relatively short 2-year statute of limitations, meaning you must file your legal claim within two years of the accident date. Failing to do so can result in your claim being dismissed.
While two years may seem like a long time, it’s not in the legal realm. Promptly filing your claim is wise because it allows for better evidence gathering and prevents the at-fault party from mounting a stronger defense.
Did You Avoid Significant Errors?
Texas law permits imperfections, but you must be cautious about specific mistakes. For instance, posting on social media, no matter how innocuous it may seem, is ill-advised, as insurers can use your posts against you.
Texas operates as a “partial fault state,” meaning you can be found partially responsible for your injuries. This can reduce the amount the at-fault party owes you. Consulting a personal injury lawyer early on is advisable, as they can provide guidance on avoiding mistakes and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Client Success Story
To witness our legal expertise in action, delve into this brief narrative illustrating how one of our clients secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.
A truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise due diligence, resulting in an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver led to a collision with another motorist, who subsequently suffered a neck injury. Notably, the injured party had a history of major spine surgery in her medical records.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to limit their payouts. We anticipated that the insurer would contend that at least some of the driver’s injuries were attributable to her prior spine surgery.
While it’s possible for prior surgeries to affect current injuries, Texas law adheres to the “Eggshell Doctrine.” This legal principle dictates that the plaintiff must be taken as they are found, obligating compensation for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate them.
To bolster the client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended the comprehensive documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms post-accident. This necessitated acquiring medical records reflecting any fresh symptoms noted by the client. Ultimately, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
During negotiations with the insurance company, they predictably argued that the accident’s force couldn’t have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane emphasized the meticulously documented new symptoms and underscored how even a moderate accident could exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
In the end, the insurer was compelled to disburse a settlement of $962,500.00. Furthermore, our reduced 29% case fee saved the client $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for a lawsuit.
