Our personal injury law firm assisted this client in securing the services of several specialists to help him recover from his injuries.

Our client paid his automobile insurance carrier a premium every month to be protected in the event he was involved in a car wreck with an uninsured or underinsured motorist. When he was forced to utilize his own insurance, we argued the carrier\u2019s duties of good faith and fair dealing, which left little doubt full policy limits should be tendered.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The $30,000 settlement for this claim involving a facet joint injury caused by a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/arlington-tx\/\">car wreck in Arlington, TX<\/a>\u00a0was the policy limit.
