Document background
A Notice of Damages Letter is a crucial document in the claims process under English and Welsh jurisdiction. It serves as the formal initiation of a claim for compensation, typically issued before commencing legal proceedings. The letter should comply with relevant pre-action protocols and must clearly outline the basis of the claim, quantify losses, and specify the remedy sought. This document is essential for establishing a clear record of the claim and demonstrating compliance with procedural requirements. The Notice of Damages Letter often includes supporting evidence and gives the recipient an opportunity to respond before formal legal proceedings are initiated.
