CAR ACCIDENT DEMAND LETTER

[SENDER NAME]
[SENDER ADDRESS]
[SENDER CONTACT INFO]

Date: [DATE]

Re: [SUBJECT OF LETTER]

Dear [RECIPIENT NAME],

On [DATE] at around [TIME]: [DESCRIBE CAR ACCIDENT]

As a result of the car accident: [DESCRIBE PERSONAL INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE]

A breakdown of the damages I have suffered as a result of the car accident is as follows:

INJURIES/TREATMENT: $[DOLLAR AMOUNT]
OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES: $[DOLLAR AMOUNT]
LOST WAGES/EARNINGS: $[DOLLAR AMOUNT]
PAIN AND SUFFERING: $[DOLLAR AMOUNT]

Based on the damages listed above, I formally demand a total settlement amount of $[DOLLAR AMOUNT]. I believe this total demand amount represents a fair and equitable settlement amount.

If there is no response to this demand letter by [DATE], all legal rights may be explored, including, but not limited to, legal proceedings necessary in accordance with state and federal laws.

This demand letter serves as official notice to you and may be tendered in court as evidence of your failure to cooperate. If legal action is to occur, you may be held liable for court fees, attorney’s fees, and damages.

I hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
