Personal injury cases can become complex, and there is likely some language that you may be unaware of as you start this journey. You may have heard the term \u201cdemand letter.\u201d Here, our <a href=\"\/chicago-personal-injury-attorney\/\">Chicago personal injury lawyers<\/a> want to discuss what a demand letter is, how the letter will be used, and some of the responses injury victims could receive from the people they send the \u201cdemand\u201d to.<\/p>\n<p>A demand letter is a preliminary part of the personal injury settlement process.
