Una carta demanda se usa para poder recibir compensación de la persona con culpa, luego de un accidente o una lesión. Abajo hay algunas sugerencias sobre cómo puede formular su propia carta demanda y obtener lo que está reclamando.

• Su versión de la historia: Escriba un breve relato sobre el evento de acuerdo a que tan bién recuerda los hechos en base a su conocimiento personal. Podría referirse a las notas que tiene y a los reportes de la policía disponibles. Debería aprender cómo mantener las cosas simples debido a que una carta demanda debería ser simplemente concisa y fácil de entender. Cualquier confusión podía tomarse en contra de su reclamo.
• Porque tuvo culpa la otra parte: Luego, es muy importante establecer por qué la otra persona tuvo culpa. Siempre debería recordar que su meta final en su reclamo es que sea capaz de convencer a la corte de otorgamientos que su reclamo es válido. Puesto que la mayoría de la porción de los hechos en su carta demanda debería mantenerse breve, también debería asegurarse de que los hechos sean capaces de establecer su caso.
• No admita su propia culpa: Si en algún momento usted se da cuentaIf ever you are aware of some faults that you have, you should not be admitting them in the demand letter. This is because admission of your own fault might halt the insurance company from pursuing with the indemnity if it realizes that you do not deserve the payment.
• Your injuries: You should be able to state the injuries that you suffered in detail. You should concentrate on the long-lasting and the permanent injuries that you have because it would be more easy to claim for damages for such case because it is more obvious. It is also vital that you do not resort to an overly dramatic way of explaining the things. This attempt may be seen as trying to influence the decision of the court which should just be based on the merits of the case.
• Your medical expenses: In the demand letter, you should clarify the exact amount that you are asking for. A detailed accounting would also look that you are prepared with the demand letter that you have.
• Your lost income: Lost income is also one of the things that can be compensated for. If you missed work because of your physical incapacity brought by your injuries, that can also be claimed as damages through the demand letter.
• Any other losses or expenses: Depending on your discretion, you can still opt to include other losses or expenses that have been directly caused by the accident.
• Your settlement demand: After the addition of all the claims you are trying to get, you should provide an entire sum of what you think you should get and it will be up to the other party to grant your request.

Finally, any demand letters you create should always include any supporting documentation that verifies your claims (medical records, bills, police reports, etc).
