Areas of Law Description

Our areas of practice include:

- Personal Injury

The attorneys at Mullen & Mullen, Inc. fight hard to help our clients obtain full compensation for their injuries. Auto accidents, slip and fall and 18-wheeler accidents, accidents caused by drunk drivers, wrongful death and property damage are a few areas in which our firm excels. When someone is injured or loses their life due to the negligence of another party, we aggressively seek to hold that party accountable for their actions.

- Auto Accidents

The Law Offices of Regis Mullen and Shane Mullen are car accident attorneys providing legal representation to individuals who have been injured in an accident in the Dallas and Fort Worth Metropolitan area. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an auto accident occurs every ten seconds in the United States.

- Drunk Drivers

If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with a drunk driver in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas, our drunk driving lawyers can help. The drunk driving attorneys at The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen aggressively pursue claims against irresponsible drinkers with sufficient assets and insurance for a lawsuit. If the driver is uninsured, our Texas law firm may still be able to pursue claims against drunk drivers who are uninsured or underinsured and without assets.

- Large Truck Accidents

As most drivers know, accidents involving large trucks are among the most serious and deadly in the U.S. The most recently available statistics (2007) revealed that 4,584 large trucks (weighing 10,000 pounds or more) were involved in fatal crashes. The necessary litigation process only makes matters more complicated, as a variety of commercial vehicle regulations come into play. At The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen, Inc., we have a thorough grasp on said regulations, state and federal alike. Additionally, we can quickly and easily obtain data on the following commercial vehicle accident commonalities:

• Vehicle safety
• Driver fatigue
• Excessive hours of service
• Blood alcohol levels

- Motorcycle Accidents

In Texas, motorcyclists are subject to the same speed restrictions as other vehicles. State transportation code requires all motorists to drive at a speed that is reasonable or prudent. Unfortunately, some motorcyclists believe they are exempt from this law – and the results can be fatal. The most recently available statistics revealed over 4,500 motorcycle rider fatalities in the U.S. in a single year. What is the speed limit for motorcycles in Texas? Again, the laws of reasonable driving enforced on all vehicle drivers apply to motorcycle riders as well.

- Slip & Fall

Slip and fall, a personal injury term used in cases where injury occurs from a person slipping and falling, can arise from a number of dangerous or hazardous conditions. If you slipped and fell while on property owned by another individual and have sustained injuries as a result, there are several possible reasons this may have occurred. For example, you may claim slip and fall liability against the owner of a building with:

• Torn carpeting
• Unexpected drops underfoot
• Poor lighting
• Unsafe stairs
• Wet floors

Outside hazards are equally dangerous; property owners may be held liable if you may slip and fall because of their failure to properly clear or notify patrons of:

• Ice
• Snow
• Hidden hazards (gaps, potholes, etc.)

- Wrongful Death

If you believe a loved one was the victim of wrongful death and intend to file suit, arming yourself with information on wrongful death claims is essential. A wrongful death lawyer from The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen can advise you of your rights under the law. In general, wrongful death claims arise when the death of an individual is believed to have resulted from the conduct or negligence of another.

- Property Damage

A large number of the cases handled at our Texas law firm deal with property damage. Whether the damage you are inquiring about relates to an automobile as the result of an accident, or another piece of personal property, the following information may be helpful. Legally defined by injury to real or personal property, property damage may be the result of:

• Negligence
• Willful destruction
• An act of nature

- Diminished Value

After an accident, the value of your vehicle is likely to be less than it was prior to the accident. This decreased amount, diminished value, can make re-selling your car in the future difficult – even impossible. Even if you opt not to disclose the information, Carfax and other services exist to assist buyers in tracing a vehicle’s previous insurance claims. In other words, the diminished value of your vehicle can become public knowledge – and you may wish to seek compensation to make up for this loss.

Chances are, your insurer does not provide coverage for diminished value (few companies do). They are not required by law to do this in most states, including Texas. Regardless, our law firm can strive to help you recover compensation for your vehicle damages. Through third-party claims and other methods, The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen, Inc. will work with you to explore any and all options leading to a fair outcome that leaves you satisfied.

- Insurance Law

Bad faith cases result from disputes between insured individuals and their insurance companies. A claim of bad faith can only be made against your insurer and not the other driver’s insurance company. The case will be a fight and you can count on your insurance law attorney from The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen to be at your side throughout the entire process.

- Social Security Disability

Often, those applying for SSDI benefits avoid seeking legal assistance for fear of excessive fees. For your convenience, The Law Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen, Inc. does not ask for money down to start working on your case. Likewise, we take no fee unless we are able to get you disability benefits. This means we don't get paid unless you do. Contact our Texas law firm for a free legal consultation.

- Employer Liability

The Texas Workers' Compensation Act provides an employee an exclusive remedy for any work related injury or death suffered while in the course and scope of employment for those whose employers choose not to carry workers' compensation insurance. Texas allows for employers to choose not to carry workers' compensation, but tries to make that choice an unattractive one. This paper focuses on the rights of employees who are injured while working for employers who are not subscribers to the Texas Workers' Compensation Act ("non-subscribers"), as well as on the defenses non-subscribers can assert. Included in this paper is a discussion of various efforts to avoid or contain the non-subscriber's financial exposure. Finally, the last part of the paper discusses the survivors' ability to recover against a subscribing employer when the worker is killed. The Texas legislature has addressed employees' rights with increasing intensity over the past four legislative sessions. It is anticipated that the 2005 legislature will also address employees' rights for work place injuries.
