VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND EMAIL State Farm Claims Department Attn: Claim Adjuster Re: Claim Number [Claim Number] Date of Loss: [Date] Insured: [At-Fault Driver Name] Our Client: [Plaintiff Name] Dear Adjuster: This letter constitutes a formal demand for settlement of the above-referenced claim arising out of the motor vehicle collision occurring on [date] in California. Our client sustained the following injuries as a direct and proximate result of your insured's negligence: cervical strain with disc protrusion at C5-C6. I. LIABILITY Liability for this loss rests squarely with your insured. The facts of the underlying incident, including the police investigation, eyewitness statements, and physical evidence at the scene, establish that your insured's negligence was the sole proximate cause of our client's injuries. California law applies the doctrine of comparative negligence, and we are confident that any reasonable jury would assign 100% of fault to your insured. II. MEDICAL TREATMENT AND DAMAGES Our client immediately sought medical treatment following the collision and has received consistent care through the date of this letter. The treating physicians have diagnosed cervical strain with disc protrusion at C5-C6 and have determined that our client has reached maximum medical improvement. The economic damages incurred to date are as follows: Medical expenses (past): $18,500 Lost wages (past): $7,200 ────────────────────────────────────── Economic damages total: $25,700 Non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress) are calculated using a multiplier of 3x the economic damages, consistent with California jury verdicts in similar cases: Pain and suffering: $77,100 ────────────────────────────────────── TOTAL DAMAGES: $102,800 III. DEMAND Based on the foregoing, our client demands settlement of this matter in the amount of $102,800. This demand is open for thirty (30) days from the date of this letter and will expire on . This demand is made in good faith and reflects a reasonable estimate of our client's damages. We invite your prompt, substantive response. Should State Farm fail to respond within the thirty-day window, our client reserves the right to file suit and seek the full measure of damages a California jury would award, which we expect to substantially exceed this pre-suit demand. We further place State Farm on notice of its obligation under California law to engage in good-faith claim handling. Any failure to investigate, evaluate, or respond to this demand within a reasonable time will be documented for potential bad-faith claims. We look forward to your response.
