Instruction: This is a model letter. Adapt to fit your facts and circumstances. Re: _____________________ Date of Accident _______________ Dear       &       : Enclosed herewith please find a Notice of Trial in the above referenced matter setting this matter for a jury trial on             , 20       . This was the earliest date that the attorneys for all parties could agree upon. Presently, this is a second setting which means there is a trial scheduled prior to ours on that same date, and our trial will not go forth unless that case is continued or is settled. In addition, I have talked with _____________________ attorney regarding the potential for settlement. I informed him that we were not willing to make a settlement offer at this time but would be willing to consider an offer from _____________________ . He said that he would review the case and provide us with an offer within the next week or so. Once I receive this offer, I will forward it to you. However, I should warn you that I anticipate that the offer will be low, but at least it is a starting point from which to go forward. I also want to let you know that _____________________ attorney would not agree to a trial of this matter by a Judge without a jury, even though we were willing to do so. This is an indication to me that he does not have much confidence in _____________________ story that you backed into her. It is highly unlikely that a Judge would believe the story. Should you have any questions, or if you anticipate that you will not be available on       , please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, By:       :       Encl.
