The First Steps after a Personal Injury Accident

The notification letter is the first step when wanting to submit a personal injury claim.

This document is used to notify the other party or the insurance company of your intentions.

Notifying the Responsible Parties

The party at fault is duly notified that the victim intends to seek compensations through the notification letter.

The plaintiff can demand payment or express his/her intentions of filing a lawsuit, if needed.

The Notification Letter

If you are willing to take legal action in a personal injury case, it is best to send the notification letter as soon as possible.

The letter should be written professionally and it should be sent with a return receipt.

It contains the basic and essential details about the date of the accident and your identification details.

your name, address, and telephone number;
