How to Write a Demand Letter & Strengthen Your Personal Injury Claim (Part B)

Once you understand what a demand letter is and how it can be useful in your Massachusetts personal injury claim, you may start thinking about how to draft a demand letter for your claim. Below is a description of several elements every great demand letter should contain. This can help you start thinking about what information you'll need to include.

Next, it would be in your best interest to consult with an experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney that specializes in personal injury claims. Your attorney can help you examine the evidence, place values on your damages, and draft a successful demand letter to the responsible insurance company as well as help negotiate and settle your accident claim.

What to Include in a Demand Letter

You'll need to begin by explaining your version of the events including what led up to the accident, and your resulting injuries.

You will also want to be polite
. Even though you are explaining why the other party is at-fault for your accident and resulting injuries, you'll want to use clear, direct, and professional language. In this way, matters are more likely to be solved in a civil and timely manner.

When drafting a demand letter, be sure to include
:

  • Your injuries (including immediate injuries, any complications, and long-term prognosis)
  • The exact reasons as to why the other party is responsible for said injuries
  • Costs involved with current and expected necessary medical treatments
  • How much income you have lost due to your injuries
  • Any other damages suffered
  • Why you qualify to make your claim against the other party under no-fault insurance laws (if applicable)
