Sample request for more information - car accidents
This is an example of a request for more information from the other party. It is important to write your letter using your own details and based on your own circumstances. If you need more help, get legal advice.
Case study - Rob and Mick
Rob parked his car at a shopping centre. After checking his mirrors, Rob slowly reversed out of a parking spot at the shops when he suddenly felt a bump. Rob had run into a car that was behind him. Rob does not have comprehensive car insurance. Rob tried to resolve the dispute with Mick and sent him a letter of demand to pay for the cost of repairs to his car. Mick asks for more information about the claim.
