Francis Injury: The Firm That Publishes Its Actual Settlement Figures

TO OUR READERS: This profile is independent editorial content produced by Awesome Attorneys. Francis Injury: Car & Truck Accident Lawyers did not pay for, commission, sponsor, or review this article, and inclusion in this series cannot be purchased. Nothing here is legal advice, an endorsement, or a recommendation to hire any lawyer; readers should evaluate counsel independently and may verify any Texas attorney’s license and discipline history through the State Bar of Texas at texasbar.com. Facts are drawn from the sources identified in the Methodology section and were verified as of August 2026.

AT A GLANCE

I. A Fort Worth Personal Injury Lawyer Whose Firm Publishes Its Actual Settlement Figures

Michael Francis, known professionally as “Mensa Mike,” runs a firm that publishes an itemized case-results page with specific settlement figures rather than only aggregate claims — a $2.25 million wrongful death settlement after a tanker truck fire, a $1.97 million settlement for a drunk-driving collision that caused a traumatic brain injury, and a $1.2 million truck-collision settlement, among others. That level of itemized specificity is less common than the generic “millions recovered” claim many firms make.

II. Thirty Years, One Board Certification, Fifty Million Dollars

Francis is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential the firm’s own materials describe as held by less than 2% of Texas attorneys, and has practiced for over 30 years, with the firm stating more than $50 million recovered for clients across that span.

III. Practice Areas

• Car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare accidents
• Construction and workplace accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Product liability
• Wrongful death
• Premises liability, including dram shop and swimming pool cases

IV. Case Outcomes

The firm publishes specific settlement figures on its results page: $2.25 million (wrongful death, tanker truck fire), $1.97 million (drunk-driving collision causing a mild traumatic brain injury), $1.75 million (denied property-damage insurance claim), $1.2 million (truck lane-change collision), $1.05 million (uninsured commercial truck driver collision), and $900,000 (motorcycle collision). These figures are firm-published and not independently re-verified against court dockets by this profile, but their specificity — case type, mechanism of injury, and exact settlement amount — goes beyond a generic results claim. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

V. The Client Voice

Francis holds an AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review rating and an Avvo Rating of 10 for personal injury, both third-party, peer- or client-driven ratings distinct from paid marketing lists. No pattern of negative or unresolved public reviews was located for the firm as of this research date.

VI. Community and Local Presence

Francis is a member of Mensa, the international high-IQ society, a credential distinct from legal practice but one the firm features prominently in its own branding as “Mensa Mike.” The firm was named among Top Attorneys by Fort Worth Magazine in 2025 and operates three offices across the DFW area — Fort Worth, Southlake, and Dallas — reflecting a genuinely regional practice rather than a single storefront.

VII. Credentials and Recognition

Francis is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the state’s official specialty credential, distinct from paid “top attorney” marketing lists. His AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell rating and Fort Worth Magazine Top Attorneys recognition are attributed to their respective conferring organizations.

VIII. The Texas Legal Backdrop

Most Texas personal injury claims carry a two-year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003, with the same two-year window applying to product liability, assault and battery, and wrongful death claims specifically. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Chapter 33): a claimant found 51% or more at fault cannot recover, while a claimant found 50% or less at fault has damages reduced proportionately. None of this is legal advice; consult a licensed Texas attorney about your specific situation.

IX. The Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Francis Injury’s structural strength is transparency about specifics: a published, itemized case-results page with real dollar figures tied to real case types, backed by over three decades of Board Certified practice and a firm presence across three DFW-area offices. For a Fort Worth or Dallas client evaluating firms on documented track record specifically, that level of itemized disclosure is a real, checkable differentiator from firms that only cite an aggregate total.

The honest limitation: the published settlement figures are firm-selected highlights rather than a comprehensive account of every case outcome, so a prospective client with a smaller claim should ask directly during a consultation how the firm’s typical case compares to the headline figures on its results page.
