What Does a Personal
Injury Attorney Do?
Investigating the Accident
Value Your Claim
We will work with experts to value your claim and ensure you recover the compensation you deserve. If you sustained severe injuries, we will work with your treating physicians, other medical professionals, life care planners, economists, and more, to make sure your demand for damages accurately reflects future medical care costs.
File Paperwork
Gathering and Analyzing Evidence
We will gather and analyze evidence that can help strengthen your claim and prove negligence.
Evidence can include:
- Accident reports
- Photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and property damage
- Video surveillance footage
- Witness statements
- Expert witness testimony
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Phone records
- Employment records
And more.
Negotiate With the Insurance Company
Insurance companies will often contact the injured party as soon as possible following an accident. They may ask to record your statement and ask questions that can be confusing or misleading. A claims adjuster’s goal is to get the injured party to downplay their injuries or admit fault. An insurance adjuster may also offer a settlement during that time, hoping you will just accept the low settlement and go away. These settlements are never enough to cover the total cost of your damages.
When you work with a personal injury lawyer at the Ben Dominguez Law Firm, they will take over all communication with the claims adjuster, to protect your rights and your claim. We will handle settlement negotiations and all other interactions with the claims adjuster to ensure you receive every penny of compensation you’re owed.

A personal injury lawyer at the Ben Dominguez Law Firm will ensure all paperwork is filed correctly, and on time.

"This was my first accident ever and with that it was a 5 car pile up. I was scared and had no idea what to do. I called Ben's office to get me some help when the insurance was trying to say they didn't know who was at fault and I had to pay out of pocket."

What is a Release of All Claims Form in a Settlement?

The settlement agreement also includes:
Identification of Parties
The form identifies the parties involved in the dispute, including the individual releasing the claims and the individual or entity being released .
Description of Claims
The settlement agreement specifies the claims being released. This may include claims from a personal injury or contract dispute.
Consideration

Release of Claims
The accident victim acknowledges and agrees to release and discharge the releasee (insurance company) from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, and causes of action arising from the specified claims.
Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement
Some release of all claims forms include provisions regarding confidentiality and non-disparagement. Parties may agree not to disclose the terms of the settlement or make negative statements about each other.
No Admission of Liability
The agreement may state that the settlement is not an admission of liability by the releasee.
Effective Date
The effective date is the date when the agreement becomes legally binding.
How Long Does it Take to Obtain a Police Report After An Accident?
