A major reason for this is Mike\u2019s ability to assist clients by securing affidavits, locating witnesses, taking necessary photographs, submitting open records requests, etc. He is a real asset to us and always goes above and beyond for clients.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Another reason for our success is that our attorneys are directly involved in the cases right from the get-go. Sometimes you have to get out from behind the desk and truly walk in your client\u2019s shoes. I accompanied the client to the scene of the incident and was able to gather small details that later assisted in settling his personal injury claim, and was also able to develop key evidence by interviewing store employees.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The client\u2019s past medical bills were roughly $50,000, and he lost significant range of motion in his knee as a result of the broken leg he sustained. We submitted a settlement proposal to the store and focused heavily on our client\u2019s non-economic damages. His lack of range of motion in his knee constituted objective evidence of physical impairment.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/articles\/how-we-write-demand-letters-to-maximize-compensation\/\">demand letter<\/a>\u00a0sent a clear message that we had done our homework and were prepared to go to battle for the client. Our settlement proposal incorporated sections of pertinent medical records and was supported by a medical timeline movie presentation.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In addition, we had a 3-D medical imaging company prepare an enhanced X-Ray of our client\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/\">broken bone<\/a>\u00a0that more clearly illustrated the extent of his injury and the interplay of that injury with his pre-existing knee condition. We have the financial resources necessary to properly develop personal injury cases and spare no expense in assisting clients.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The settlement for this claim involving a leg injury that required surgery as a result of a slip and fall at a retail store in Gainesville, TX was $250,000. Attorney fees were $70,000. Case expenses were $2,830.37.\u00a0After paying medical providers, the client\u2019s net recovery was $133,302.06.
