Is Your Claim Viable?

Personal Injury Claims Lawyer Dallas, TXAt Mullen & Mullen, we distinguish ourselves from other personal injury lawyers in Fort Worth by increasing your chances of securing a more substantial settlement. We typically settle most of the claims we handle, just like many other lawyers. However, what sets us apart is our commitment to helping you walk away with a larger settlement.

To maximize the success potential of your claim, certain elements must be established through a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it’s more likely than not (over 50%) that the negligence of the other party resulted in your injuries.

Here’s what we assess:

Was There a Duty of Care Owed by the At-Fault Party?

What Questions Do Defending Personal Injury Lawyers Ask?To establish legal liability, it’s crucial to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. “Duty of care” implies that individuals must exercise reasonable care in situations where harm to others is foreseeable.

For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They charge for their services, and their responsibilities go beyond those of a layperson.

Conversely, if you ask a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients that might cause allergic reactions, you likely do not have a personal injury claim. Grocery store clerks are responsible for distributing and selling products, not providing medical advice on their ingredients.

Was the Duty of Care Breached?

Ask the right questionsNext, it’s essential to prove that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be especially challenging in cases like medical malpractice.

In essence, you must demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For instance, when driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a way that doesn’t harm other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you have likely breached your duty of care.

However, if you swerve to avoid debris in the road and an accident occurs, you probably have not breached your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in that situation. In such cases, it’s unlikely that anyone can sue you for damages resulting from the accident.

Did You Suffer Damages Due to the Breach?

Attorney Settles Cervical Injury Truck Accident in Denton, TX for $142,217.39It is imperative to establish that the breach of the duty of care directly led to your injuries. Insurance companies may attempt to argue that your injuries resulted from unrelated causes.

For instance, if you previously suffered injuries from another accident, the insurer might claim that those injuries caused your current condition, not their customer’s negligent behavior. Our personal injury lawyers are adept at disproving such claims and demonstrating that your injuries indeed occurred due to the negligence of the other party.

Did the Damages Occur within the Past 2 Years?

How Does the Texas Statute of Limitations Work?Texas imposes a relatively short 2-year “statute of limitations.” This means you must file your legal claim within 2 years from the date of your accident; otherwise, the court will dismiss your claim if you attempt to file it later.

While 2 years may seem like a significant amount of time, in the legal realm, it is rather limited. It’s advisable to file your claim as promptly as possible after the accident to facilitate evidence gathering and to prevent the at-fault party from building a strong defense.

Did You Avoid Significant Mistakes?

Are you coveredTexas law allows for some imperfections; however, you must be cautious about specific errors. For example, sharing content on social media, regardless of how innocent it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers may manipulate anything you post to your detriment.

Additionally, since Texas follows a “partial fault” system, you could be held partially responsible for your injuries. The amount the at-fault party owes you would be reduced proportionally. Consulting a personal injury lawyer early in the process is wise, as they can offer guidance on avoiding mistakes that might cost you a substantial sum or even lead to the loss of your claim.

Case Study: Overcoming Pre-Existing Conditions to Secure a $962,500 Settlement

Million Dollar AdvocatesIn a vivid illustration of our legal expertise, we invite you to delve into this concise narrative, showcasing how one of our clients successfully obtained a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:

The incident unfolded as a truck driver was traveling west on US 287, but regrettably, inattentiveness led to an unsafe lane change. The consequence was a collision with a fellow motorist, resulting in a debilitating neck injury. Notably, the injured motorist had a significant history of prior spine surgery in her medical records.

Insurance companies often seize upon pre-existing conditions as an opportunity to limit their payouts. In this case, we anticipated their contention that a portion of the driver’s injuries stemmed from her prior major spine surgery.

However, under Texas law, a legal doctrine known as “The Eggshell Doctrine” is applied. This principle mandates that the plaintiff be taken as they are, entitling them to compensation for all injuries arising from the accident, even when pre-existing conditions exacerbate the harm.

Three Best Rated: Best Business of 2023To bolster our client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or heightened symptoms following the accident. This involved obtaining medical records for the client, who underwent multiple laminectomies to rectify damaged vertebrae.

As negotiations commenced with the insurer, their predictable stance was that the accident’s impact could not have necessitated surgery. In response, Shane Mullen highlighted the documented emergence of new symptoms and the critical point that even a moderate accident could worsen pre-existing injuries.

Ultimately, the insurer was compelled to disburse a settlement amounting to $962,500.00. Furthermore, our client benefited from a reduced 29% case fee, totaling savings of $70,000, as her claim was successfully resolved without the need for litigation.
