✓ Best Practices

  • Lead with the strongest liability facts — establish fault clearly before damages
  • Attach supporting documents: medical records, bills, photos, police report, lost wage verification
  • Quantify non-economic damages with specific impact examples, not generic language
  • Set a firm but reasonable deadline — 30 days is standard
  • Never send without attorney review — admissions in demand letters are discoverable

⚠ Limitations

  • Demand amounts require attorney assessment of case value — AI cannot evaluate jury verdicts
  • Comparative fault issues significantly affect demand strategy
  • Insurance bad faith considerations may affect timing and strategy

Expected Output

A professional settlement demand letter with liability analysis, injury narrative, itemized damages, and a specific demand amount. Typically 1,000–3,000 words.
