When we represent injured people or their survivors, after we've gathered all pertinent evidence, we start by sending a settlement demand package to the insurance company for the at-fault party. A settlement demand includes a comprehensive collection of documents and evidence aimed at presenting a compelling case for compensation. It typically includes a detailed demand letter outlining the facts of the incident, the legal basis for the claim and theory of liability, and the specific damages being sought. Supporting materials often include medical records and bills, proof of lost wages, photographs of injuries and property damage, witness statements, and any relevant police or incident reports. The package may also feature a personal narrative describing the impact of the injury on the client's daily life. Altogether, this package serves to substantiate the claim and set the stage for settlement negotiations.
