Mullen & Mullen is best described as getting the job done and done right. I specifically worked with Joseph Morrison who was thorough and always kept me in the loop about my case as well as called to check on me numerous times. I had my motorcycle accident in 2023 and in the two years working on my case they worked hard on making sure I was okay and healed the best I could. I had never had anything like this happen to me but they took care of everything I needed. To doctor visits and physical therapy all the way to traditional therapy/neurological care. The main thing I had to focus on was just getting better. If you need legal help with any motor vehicle accident and/or personal injury issues these are the folks to call!
I just want to say thank you so much Mullen and Mullen for everything!! They are the best at what they do. My son and I were in a car accident last year and things were very difficult for us. From the very beginning they went step by step and explained what was going to take place. They really took the time to listen and understand any concerns or questions I had.I honestly can’t put into words how amazing they are. I highly recommend anyone that has ever been in an accident to reach out to their team you won’t regret it!!!
I can't recommend Mullen & Mullen Law Firm highly enough. From the very first consultation, they made me feel heard, respected, and confident that I was in good hands. Their team was incredibly responsive and walked me through every step of the legal process with patience and clarity.What stood out most was their commitment to securing the best possible outcome for my case. They handled everything with professionalism and care, and I never felt like “just another client.” Their attention to detail and dedication gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time.If you're looking for a personal injury law firm that genuinely puts your interests first and delivers results, Mullen & Mullen is the one to call
I was in a car accident late 2023. Josh and his team took good care of me throughout the entire process. They took care of my medical and got me back to living my life normally. They are an amazing team who tells you how it is. Nothing but praise for these guys.
I had a great experience with the way Josh Banks handled my car accident case. You all have a client for life!
I’m so grateful to Mullen & Mullen Law Firm for handling my car accident case! Even though the other driver was uninsured, Josh guided me through the entire process with professionalism and care. He kept me informed, answered all my questions, and fought hard to get me a settlement. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication from the team — they made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help after an accident.Edit: I forgot to mention Jailene! She was incredibly helpful over the past year, keeping me informed and updated throughout the entire process. She answered all my questions promptly and made sure I was always in the loop of what was going on. I truly appreciate her support as my case assistant and highly recommend her!
Josh represented me after a car accident. Mullen & Mullen did an amazing job and kept me updated throughout the case. From the first initial call to the end of the case I was taken care of.
I hired Mullen & Mullen following a motor vehicle collision. I could not be more pleased with the Dallas personal injury lawyers I selected. They are the real deal! I was always kept in the loop on case developments. My attorneys sent the at-fault liability carrier multiple demands to make them agree to pay the policy limits. My lawyers also sent my own insurance company several demands to get them to offer me nearly the policy limits. Many attorneys would have given up and recommended filing a lawsuit, but Mullen & Mullen kept pounding the insurance companies until they did the right thing. This saved me a tremendous amount of money and time. I'm so grateful I found ethical, tenacious, and skilled attorneys to represent me. Mullen & Mullen gets my highest recommendation if you need a Dallas car accident attorney.C. Burnett
I loved the personalized approach they had for my case. I never felt left out or like I was one of their several cases. They answered each and every query patiently and provided a solution. I trusted them and never regretted it. You can trust them with any of your injury claims, and you'll not regret it.
Mullen & Mullen has been amazing. I used them after hearing about them on a Christian radio station, and that says a lot right there. Mr. Banks was my attorney and kept me inform through the entire process of getting my rear end collision settled. The entire team was professional and informative from the first call through my medical treatments and then dealing with the insurance companies. I will use them again if I ever have another accident.

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 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. 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.

Mullen & Mullen’s attorneys live and work right here in Dallas, and always have. We believe in paying our success forward by helping people in the North Texas community, and are dedicated to supporting these local charities.

IS YOUR CLAIM VIABLE?

At 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?

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?

Next, 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?

It 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?

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?

Texas 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

In 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.

To 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.
