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.

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.

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.

I highly recommend Mullen & Mullen Law Firm. I was rear-ended by a semi-truck and lost work, needed rehab, was looking at mounting medical bills AND the truck company’s insurance company wouldn’t even respond to my communications. Joe Morrison, my attorney at Mullen & Mullen, and his team took over and got me a great settlement. Best of all, I barely had to do a thing. As busy business owner, my time is extremely valuable. The high level of service that the “Mullen” team provided was exactly what I needed. They went the extra mile to earn my trust and respect. Hiring an attorney can be a daunting task. I’m just so glad that I didn’t hire one of those TV ad truck accident firms. –Dan Levin
Shane Mullen is a great lawyer. He is not only great at his job, but he really cares about his clients! I was rear ended last December, and he not only got me in to see a chiropractor to start my healing but called them to let them know to call me and set up an appointment for me right away! They also referred me to a great auto body repair shop that had me up and going in no time. Then when it came time to deal with Geico about a settlement Shane went above and beyond to get me more than I expected. In my opinion when an accident happens you want the best. Best lawyer, best doctors, and best repair shop. I got all of that and then some by calling Mullen and Mullen! I would recommend them to anyone. All my calls were returned, and emails answered so quickly, and his assistant Natalie is so sweet and patient! Always so ready to answer all my questions! –Michele Lambe

One major insurer’s report says the average personal injury lawyer wins their client 2-3 times the insurance company’s initial offer. We routinely get clients 10-15x. And some even get 20x.
Experience our legal expertise in action through this case narrative, where a client achieved a settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.
In this particular situation, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise proper caution, resulting in an unsafe lane change. This reckless maneuver led to a collision with another motorist, causing her to suffer a neck injury. It’s important to note that the injured party had a history of significant spine surgery in her medical records.
Regrettably, insurance companies often exploit pre-existing medical conditions in an attempt to limit their payout. They argued that some of the injuries might have been related to her previous spine surgery.
However, in accordance with Texas law, the “Eggshell Doctrine” prevailed. This principle dictates that the plaintiff should receive compensation for all injuries resulting from the accident, regardless of any exacerbation due to pre-existing conditions.
To ensure our client’s success, Shane Mullen recommended comprehensive documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms following the accident, along with obtaining medical evidence of these symptoms. The client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.
When negotiations commenced with the insurer, they predictably argued that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane highlighted the documented new symptoms and emphasized that even a moderate accident could worsen pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to pay $962,500.00. Furthermore, our reduced 29% case fee resulted in the client saving $70,000, as her claim was settled without the need for a lawsuit!
Everyone can afford Mullen & Mullen. That’s because we only charge you after your claim is settled. So, you can easily afford the best personal injury attorneys in St. Louis!

In Missouri, you have five years from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim. This sounds like a long time. But remember that defendants intentionally lose or destroy evidence as soon as they can. Preservation of evidence, and securing witnesses, are crucial to your case. So, you’re wise to file your claim as soon after your accident as you’re able.
Start the process with a free consultation with Mullen & Mullen by calling (314) INJURED.
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:
To witness our legal expertise in action, delve into this concise narrative illustrating how one of our clients secured a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:
On a westward journey along US 287, a truck driver’s momentary lapse of attention led to an unsafe lane change, resulting in a collision with a fellow motorist who suffered a neck injury. It’s worth noting that the injured party had a significant prior history of spine surgery in her medical records.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often attempt to leverage pre-existing conditions to reduce their payout obligations. We foresaw their potential argument, suggesting that at least some of the driver’s injuries were linked to her earlier spine surgery.
However, under Texas law, a principle known as “The Eggshell Doctrine” is applied. This doctrine mandates that the plaintiff should be taken as they are found, entitling them to compensation for all injuries resulting from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbated those injuries.
To bolster our client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or exacerbated symptoms arising after the accident. Consequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address damaged vertebrae.
During negotiations with the insurer, their expected stance was that the accident’s impact was insufficient to necessitate surgery. Shane countered this argument by emphasizing the well-documented new symptoms and the potential for even a moderate accident to exacerbate pre-existing injuries.
Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to settle for $962,500.00, delivering a substantial win for the client. Additionally, our client saved $70,000 through our reduced 29% case fee, as her claim was resolved without the need for a lawsuit.
When someone else causes your harm, it always seems obvious to understand exactly what happened and who’s at fault. But Missouri law and your own practical understanding are two different things.
Following is what our personal injury lawyers look for to see if you have a truly winnable claim:
To have a valid personal injury claim, the other party must have owed you a duty of care. For example, a doctor owes you a duty of care because they charge for their services and have a level of expertise above and beyond the lay person.
However, a friend telling you about a natural supplement that relieves pain does not owe you a duty of care. So, you can possibly sue the doctor. But you can’t sue your friend.
Speaking generally, law allows people to be imperfect and make mistakes. However, they generally must exercise the same care a reasonable person would in that situation.
If they act differently than a reasonable person would, you likely have a personal injury claim. For example, someone driving drunk is not acting like a reasonable person. Therefore, you have a claim you can pursue if they cause you injuries and damages.
Insurers love this one because they know how to lever it to their advantage. They agree that you’re injured. However, they’ll argue their customer’s actions didn’t cause your injuries.
For example, they may use Facebook pictures you post after an accident to show that the accident didn’t cause your injuries (even if that really was the case).
When injured and seeking compensation, you must show the breach in the duty of care resulted in your injuries.
Missouri’s statute of limitations says you have five years from the date of your accident to file your claim. Wait longer than that, and your claim will be tossed out in court.
Five years is a long time. However, you still should pursue your claim with a personal injury attorney as soon after your accident as possible. That’s because the longer you wait, the more time the other party must destroy evidence and mount their defense. Don’t give them any more time than is necessary.
Personal injury law allows you to be imperfect. Missouri is a “partial fault” state, which means that you can still recover compensation for your injuries, even if you bear some fault.
At the same time, you can still make game-changing mistakes that could cost you your entire claim. For example, those Facebook pictures could be enough to do just that.
You can also make lesser mistakes like apologizing or failing to follow your doctor’s orders. Those mistakes may not cost you your claim entirely. But they still could cost you a lot of money.
This is another reason to hire a personal injury lawyer immediately. One can tell you what mistakes to avoid so you get the most compensation possible for your injuries.
Call (314) INJURED to talk to a St. Louis personal injury attorney right now. We won’t put any pressure on you to hire us on the spot. Simply learn how we’ll approach your case and get some excellent free advice. Make your decision only when you feel 100% ready. Do remember though, that the Missouri statute of limitations gives you just 5 years from the date of your accident to file a claim. BUT if you wait to contact a lawyer it may be too late to gather evidence. It’s critical to your potential claim to ACT FAST.
We’ll come to your home or hospital room if it makes it easier on you! Phone and Zoom consultations are also available. You can call us, or use the form or chat feature on this page to request a free consultation now.
