Car Accident Demand Letter

What is this workflow?

This workflow is designed to help individuals recover damages from minor car accidents where liability is clear. It provides a structured process for drafting a demand letter and negotiating with the insurance company for compensation related to property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Who should use this workflow?

This workflow is ideal for individuals involved in minor car accidents who wish to seek fair compensation from the at-fault party's insurance provider. It is especially useful for those who have sustained property damage, medical injuries, or lost wages due to the accident.

What you'll need

• Police report (if available)
• Photos of the accident scene and vehicles
• Medical records and bills related to injuries

2. Upload necessary documentation including police reports and photos.
3. Calculate total damages incurred from the accident.
4. Generate and send a demand letter to the insurance company.
5. Evaluate any settlement offers and negotiate if needed.

Expected timeline and outcomes

The process typically takes 1-2 days for documentation and demand letter preparation, followed by a waiting period for the insurance company's response, which can range from 40-60 days. Outcomes may include a settlement offer or the decision to escalate the claim to small claims court.
