[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Injury and Settlement Offer Dear [Recipient's Name], I am writing to officially notify you of an incident resulting in personal injury that occurred on [date] in [location]. I believe this incident was a direct result of your negligence or carelessness. I am seeking compensation for the damages I have suffered as a result of the accident. [Optional: Provide a brief summary of the incident, including key details such as how it happened and the extent of your injuries. Use factual language and avoid making any statements that could jeopardize your case.] As per Arizona law, I hereby offer you an opportunity to settle this matter without resorting to legal proceedings. It is in both our interests to resolve this matter amicably and avoid unnecessary litigation costs. Although I firmly believe my damages exceed any initial settlement offer, I am open to engaging in a fair negotiation process. I have outlined my proposal for settlement below: 1. Medical Expenses: Include all medical bills incurred as a direct result of the incident, including but not limited to hospitalization, diagnostic tests, prescriptions, physical therapy, and ongoing treatment requirements. Total amount: [EX] 2. Lost Wages: Specify the period of time you were unable to work due to the injuries, along with the corresponding amount of lost income. Attach any relevant documentation, such as a letter from your employer or payroll records. Total amount: [EX] 3. Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional pain endured, including the impact on your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Determining an appropriate amount for non-economic damages is complex; therefore, I suggest we appoint a neutral third-party mediator to assist in reaching a fair resolution. 4. Other Damages: If applicable, include any additional damages such as property damage, emotional distress, or permanent disabilities resulting from the incident. Provide detailed documentation and/or estimates for the repair or replacement costs. Total amount: [EX] In total, I propose a settlement amount of [EX], which reflects the damages I have suffered considering medical costs, lost income, and non-economic factors. This amount should serve as a basis for our negotiations, and I am open to discussing these figures with you or your legal representative. I kindly request a response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 30 days] from the receipt of this letter. Failure to respond or engage in good faith negotiations may result in pursuing legal action to seek fair compensation for my injuries. Please consider this letter as a formal notice of my intent to file a personal injury claim against you if an agreement cannot be reached. Additionally, I remind you of your duty to preserve any evidence related to the incident, as this may be crucial in determining liability and establishing damages. I encourage you to seek legal counsel to ensure your rights are protected throughout these proceedings. Likewise, I have consulted with an experienced personal injury attorney who will be representing my interests moving forward. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope we can resolve this dispute in a fair and mutually beneficial manner, thus avoiding any unnecessary escalation. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
