Last week I was going through an interesting article on drafting demand letters. Demand letters (lawyer’s notice) are drafted and sent in the very early stages of litigation or before litigation has commenced at all.
A good demand letter details out injuries and the damages incurred by the injured party, caused due to the negligent act and/or omission of the adverse party. The underlying cause is determined by meticulously studying the case files. One has to keep in mind, what makes the demand letters so thorny is the audience to which you are writing. Too much legalese, no matter how well handled, will create an unreadable mess in a document as brief as a demand letter.
The demand letter is often the starting point for further legal action, so it’s important to start off on the right foot and make the best opening move possible. An effective demand letter can make all the difference when you’re trying to get a satisfactory result for your claim. Here the Exigent legal solutions team can help you craft your best arguments in your demand letter and with the kind of information you’ll need to include.
