A Personal Injury Demand Letter is the formal pre-litigation document sent by an injured party (or their attorney) to the at-fault party or their insurance company demanding compensation for injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Most personal injury claims settle without litigation, and the demand letter initiates the settlement negotiation process. A well-structured demand letter should: (1) describe the accident and establish liability; (2) document all medical treatment and costs; (3) quantify all economic damages; (4) include a demand for pain and suffering; and (5) set a specific deadline for response.
