How do I write an effective car insurance demand letter?
I've been in an accident, and I want to perfectly argue my claim to my insurance company, but I've been burned in the past. Any tips for writing an effective insurance demand letter?

We’re sorry to hear you were in an accident! Filing a claim with your insurance company can be a hassle. Here are some tips to make the process as pain-free as possible.
To get the most out of your
car insurance
claim letter, you should clearly lay out all the information your claim adjuster will need to evaluate the claim. To do this: - Clearly present the facts of your accident
- Make a clear, well-organized, to the point argument using the facts you just presented
- Explain the exact costs, medical bills, and loss of work the car accident has caused
- Detail how this supports the value you placed on your car accident claim
You can never be too specific in your claim! Also, be sure to back up your letter with proper documentation (like medical records) whenever possible.
