Help CenterSelecting the correct demand type in Law Practice AI ensures that your output is tailored to the case. Using the wrong type can produce inaccurate or incomplete letters. This guide explains each type, when to use it, and common misuses.
Demand Types Overview
| Demand Type | When to Use | Changes in Output | Common Misuse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Demand | Typical personal injury or contract claims | Full letter with standard headings, evidence sections, and summary | Using for policy-limited cases may overstate demands |
| Policy-Limit Demand | Cases with a defined insurance policy cap | Adjusts claim amounts and letter tone; may omit non-covered items | Forgetting to check policy limits before sending |
| Partial/Interim Demand | When only partial documentation or claims are ready | Sections marked “interim”; generates placeholders for missing data | Sending prematurely without clarifying “interim” status |
| Settlement Offer | When negotiating a resolution | Focuses on offer terms, reduces evidence-heavy sections | Using before confirming facts or medical records |
| High-Impact Demand | Complex claims requiring aggressive strategy | Enhanced emphasis on chronology and supporting evidence | Using in small/simple claims unnecessarily |
Decision Tree Example
-
If policy limits demand:
→ Select Policy-Limit Demand
→ Ensure total claim does not exceed limits
→ Review wording for cautious tone -
If full case documentation available:
→ Select Standard Demand
→ Include all supporting evidence -
If documents are incomplete:
→ Select Partial/Interim Demand
→ Mark missing items clearly -
If negotiating early settlement:
→ Select Settlement Offer
→ Focus on offer and terms -
If complex/high-value case:
→ Select High-Impact Demand
→ Emphasize chronology, evidence, and strategy
