What Happens After Your Lawyer Sends a Demand Letter?
The immediate moments after a car accident can best be described as chaotic.
You’re checking yourself and any passengers for injuries and calling 911. You’re inspecting your car for damages and wondering if you can drive away or need a tow. You’re also checking on the other motorists involved in the accident.
When the police show up, you have to provide a statement of your version of what happened. There is a lot going on that has to be unpacked.
In the days that follow, you could be dealing with medical treatment, car mechanics, and calling in sick to work. This is the phase of the accident recovery where bills begin to mount up. That alone can trigger more stress.
One of the first things your lawyer will do after taking on a car accident claim is to prepare a demand letter for your case. It’s helpful to understand what goes into this document.
