Common Questions About Car Accident Settlement
Do I need to include a demand amount?
Yes. List a specific dollar amount and itemize how you calculated it.
What if the insurer keeps delaying?
Set a firm response deadline and document every follow-up.
When should I send a demand letter?
Once you understand your full damages and the insurance company's offer is clearly inadequate. Wait until medical treatment is complete if injuries are involved.
What if they still lowball me?
Document everything, escalate to a supervisor, file a complaint with your state insurance commissioner, or consult a personal injury attorney.
Should I accept their first offer?
Almost never. First offers are typically low. They expect negotiation. Counter with documented evidence of your actual damages.
What damages can I claim?
Vehicle repairs or replacement, medical bills, lost wages, rental car costs, and potentially pain and suffering for injuries.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Statute of limitations varies by state, typically 2-6 years. But delayed claims are harder to prove. File as soon as possible.
