Do This to Send an Effective Demand Letter – Injury Attorneys

In order to recover compensation from the insurance company after an accident leading to injuries, it is important to be strategic. This means creating something called a demand letter stating what you wish to receive, why you would like to receive said amount, the extent of your injuries and any other pertinent information that you feel will help the insurance adjuster make an informed decision regarding your payout going forward. A demand letter is a common piece of document in personal injury law, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean that you should work on it on your own. By engaging the services of an experienced personal injury law firm, you’ll be able to draft an effective and assertive demand letter without losing your cool or without seeming too eager when it comes to settling.

What To Do After Sending a Demand Letter

There’s a lot of anxiety surrounding settlements after filing an injury claim, and understandably so. You may worry about how you are going to take care of your bills, as well as how you’ll get the medical care you desperately need. Because of this anxiety, individuals will feel the need to get in touch with the insurance adjuster shortly after mailing the demand letter in order to expedite the process. From a legal standpoint, this is just about the worst thing you can do because it will make it seem that you’re in a hurry to settle, so you’ll take any offer on the table. This often leads to the insurance company lowballing you just so you can take the offer and so they can save money.
