The situation
An insurer’s policyholder was involved in a motor vehicle collision near a Saskatchewan town, with the responsible party connected to a commercial electrical contracting business. The insurer paid the property damage claim and referred the matter for subrogated recovery.
Our approach
Precision Paralegal Services sent a pre-litigation demand letter to the responsible parties and pursued recovery through direct correspondence with the other insurer.
We negotiated a resolution before formal litigation was required. The settlement provided for a lump sum payment, and a signed release discharged the responsible individual, contracting business and their insurers from claims arising from the collision.
The outcome
The matter settled on lump sum payment terms, with a signed release, before formal litigation was required.
What this case illustrates
Direct correspondence provided a route to settlement in this matter. The demand letter, insurer negotiations and release resolved the dispute without the additional steps of filing and pursuing a civil claim.
