TRUCK ACCIDENT DEMAND LETTER TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a truck accident demand letter?

A truck accident demand letter is a written request for compensation sent to an insurance company, trucking company, or other responsible party after a truck crash. It summarizes what happened, explains why the other party is liable, lists injuries and losses, and requests a specific settlement amount by a deadline.


When should you send a demand letter?

Usually after you have the key evidence (police report, photos, witness info) and a clear view of your damages (medical bills, time off work, repair estimates). If injuries are ongoing, you can still send a preliminary demand and note that treatment is continuing.


Who should the letter be sent to?

Often it’s sent to the trucking company’s insurer and/or the at-fault driver’s insurer. In some cases it may also go to the trucking company, broker, or another entity involved. This template includes fields for multiple recipients.


What should you include to make it stronger?

Include a clear timeline, a liability explanation, a list of injuries and treatment, itemized damages (medical, wages, property), and supporting documents. Keep claims factual and avoid exaggeration.


Should you admit fault or discuss what you “might have done”?

No. Keep the letter focused on facts, damages, and your settlement request. If fault is disputed, state your position clearly and reference evidence.
