Write a response to a claim from someone who says I caused damage or injury, focused on facts and referring to my insurer. What I will tell you: claimant [CLAIMANT_NAME], date and place of the incident [INCIDENT_DETAILS], their claim [THEIR_CLAIM], my account [MY_ACCOUNT], my insurer [INSURER_DETAILS], documents received [DOCUMENTS_RECEIVED]. The letter needs to acknowledge receipt, state facts briefly, say the claim has been passed to my insurer, and avoid admitting liability. Acknowledge the claim in two sentences, give only the date and place of the incident and the names of witnesses, and say the claim has been passed to my insurer with the policy number, who will contact them. Do not admit fault, apologise in a way that could be read as an admission, or estimate costs; ask them to send all further documents and photos to the insurer. Remind me to notify my insurer first and to follow their instructions before sending this letter, since a policy may require early notice. Facts and papers worth gathering: Photos, witness details, the claim letter, and insurer contact. What I can realistically request: Referral to insurer. The usual pushback: Claimants may push; keep replies short. Start by making a timeline table for the response to a third-party claim after an accident on my property or vehicle (when, what, document), mark undocumented dates, and then draft the letter from it. Return the letter itself plus a 50-word cover note, then an escalation ladder if I am ignored (reply, then insurer), then an evidence checklist (photos, witnesses, claim letter). Mail it by certified or registered post with a return receipt, then file the tracking page once it shows delivered. Write this in my own voice as a private individual, never as a lawyer. Invent no statute or deadline; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and add a line telling me to confirm the rules with a professional or consumer agency. Write it direct, fair and respectful, without exaggeration, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and be honest about limits. None of this is legal advice.
