Once your PI case has been thoroughly worked-up, let DiCello Paralegal Services prepare your demand letter package.
I specialize in drafting PI demand letter packages that effectively communicate the severity of your client’s injuries, and the clear extent of the tortfeasor’s liability. The result is a letter and exhibit package that encourages case settlement by unequivocally demonstrating the weaknesses in the insured’s position, should the case go to trial.
In most cases, I can get a settlement demand package out the door fast, and into the hands of an adjuster. Let me help you get that PI case on the road to settlement.
I offer three types of demand letter preparation, all at affordable, flat rates. The descriptions below are guidelines only. If I determine that the actual total of past and future medical bills cannot be accurately ascertained at the time I draft your demand package, you will be billed the maximum amount ($249.00). In addition, if the particular job is determined by me to be complex in nature, I reserve the right to charge the maximum amount ($249.00). California jury verdict and settlement research available at additional cost.
