West Palm Car wreck - Written Response in an Automobile Case with Clear Liability

Dear Mr. Adjuster:

This will confirm our settlement discussions of April 12, 1999 regarding the above captioned matter. I appreciate your prompt response to our letter of demand dated March 28, 2009 in which we requested the sum of $25,000 to settle this matter.

I have communicated your offer of $8,500 to my client. Based upon clear and abso¬lute liability with no comparative negligence I cannot recommend settlement for the above figure.

Since the only issue in this case is damages, I feel confident that medical bills in the amount of $1,800, lost wages in the amount of $1,600, and pain and suffering lasting for close to a year, supports our original demand of $25,000. Since there would be no reduction for comparative negligence, I believe a reasonable jury would award a fig¬ure equal to or perhaps even greater than our demand.

However, in an effort to reach settlement in this case we will reduce our demand to $19,500 with the hope that you will take another look at your offer.

I look forward to hearing from you.
