Auto Accident Demand Letter - Alaska

ALASKA MOTOR-VEHICLE CLAIM REVIEW AND DEMAND-DRAFTING WORKBOOK

NOT FOR DELIVERY OR FILING

Use this workbook to organize facts, evidence, coverage, medical causation,
damages, current-law research, liens, and settlement authority. Draft the
actual demand separately after counsel completes every route and deadline
review.

1. MATTER CONTROL

☐ Conflicts cleared

☐ Representation scope confirmed

☐ Immediate notice and deadline screen completed

☐ Health-insurance, benefit, and lien sources identified

☐ Negotiations will not suspend deadline work

2. PARTY AND ROLE MAP

Unknown or misidentified party: [________________________________]

Government, commercial, rideshare, delivery, rental, or special vehicle: [________________________________]

3. INSURANCE AND CLAIM ROUTES

Do not assume that notice to one carrier, adjuster, or insured satisfies a
different policy, claim, party, or legal requirement.

4. COLLISION FACTS

5. CHRONOLOGY

Separate firsthand facts, third-party statements, records, expert opinions,
and counsel inferences.

6. LIABILITY AND DEFENSE REGISTER

Do not state that a traffic violation establishes liability, that a defense
automatically bars recovery, or that enhanced damages are available without
current claim-specific authority and facts.

7. EVIDENCE INVENTORY

Any preservation request must be tailored to likely custodians, systems,
timeframes, proportionality, privilege, and the applicable procedure.

8. INJURY AND MEDICAL CAUSATION

Treatment gap or noncompliance issue: [________________________________]

Future care opinion and basis: [________________________________]

Prior or later event affecting causation: [________________________________]

9. ECONOMIC AND OTHER HARM

Amounts billed, paid, adjusted, owed, recoverable, and admissible may differ.
Counsel must select the lawful measure and supporting proof.

10. LIEN, REIMBURSEMENT, AND BENEFIT REVIEW

Do not promise that the client alone will satisfy every lien or reimbursement
claim until responsibility, validity, amount, priority, and settlement handling
have been reviewed.

11. DEADLINE AND NOTICE WORKSHEET

Calculate every party, claim, policy, and procedural route separately.

Minor, incapacity, death, government, out-of-state, or other special issue: [________________________________]

legal deadline.
