The Importance of the Demand Letter in Your Palm Beach County Bad Faith Case: Part I

There are certain key things your Palm Beach County accident attorney should so when they receive your case. First, they should determine whether you have a good case by immediately determining liability and evaluating whether the injuries and damages are substantial.  Then they should determine the policy amount to see if the coverage is adequate.  If the policy coverage is not adequate, there may be a bad faith claim down the line.

The demand letter sets the tone for the injured party to recover an excess verdicy against the insurer for failing to settle within the policy limits.  The demand letter should be accompanied by supporting documents including medical bills, wage info, hospital records, photos, expert reports, summaries from doctors, and any other pertinent info to evaluate the claim.  Thse documents are critical to showing later on that the insurance company acted in bad faith.  If you have been injured in a Palm Beach County car accident, call an experienced accident attorney immediately to evaluate your case and determine your legal rights.
