Chamber Passed·4/13/26

Modifies settlement demand requirements for personal injury, bodily injury, or wrongful death claims.

HB 2927 modifies provisions relating to settlement demands for personal injury, bodily injury, or wrongful death claims. It specifies that a settlement demand is not considered a reasonable opportunity to settle unless it is sent via certified mail return-receipt requested to the tort-feasor's liability insurer and remains open for acceptance for at least ninety days. The demand must include details such as the amount requested, a description of injuries, and HIPAA compliant authorizations for health care records.
