Personal Injury Demand Letters

To protect yourself against the unexpected, attorneys at Seeger Weiss recommend that you provide a notification—or personal injury demand letter—to everyone who could be responsible for your accident. A personal injury demand begins the negotiating process by discussing your damages and notifying individuals and businesses that you’ll be pursuing personal injury compensation. So really think through the situation that caused your injuries and what persons could be responsible. Here’s who might be responsible for a car, motorcycle or bicycle accident—and who you might consider sending personal injury demand letters to:
  • The drivers of all vehicles involved—including the vehicle in which you were riding if you were a passenger—whether or not they actually hit you or your car.
  • Owner of all vehicles if the owners are different from the drivers.
  • The employer of a driver of any vehicle if the employee might have been on company business time at the time of the accident.
  • The parent of a minor who was driving, or who owned a vehicle involved in the accident.
  • Anyone not in a vehicle who contributed to the accident, such as someone jaywalking or a property owner who allowed something to obstruct or interfere with the roadway.

Proof for Pursuing Personal Injury Compensation

Let’s say that your accident happened in a place that is open to the public. You can, and are strongly advised, to go back and take photos and gather proof for pursuing personal injury compensation. If the area has been closed, try to get permission from whoever is in charge. If they decline, make a note of it. And make sure your note has the date, the name of person who denied you and their reasons.

When yours and your family’s wellbeing has been comprised, it makes sense to pursue all personal injury demands that are appropriate. Contact Seeger Weiss.
