RE: VEHICULAR ACCIDENT (TRAFFIC CASE)

ON JUNE 2019 AT CAGAYAN DE ORO

Dear Mr.:

I am writing in behalf of Mr.. As you know, an Jitney with Plate No. registered to

was involved in a collision with your Toyota Hilux, registered to on June 2019. The

Incident Record Form, which a copy is attached to this letter, has a narrative of how the

incident took place.

The PUJ Driver was not injured, but the PUJ suffered a fair amount of damage.

The owner of the vehicle, has repeatedly tried contacting your number which number

can no longer be reached.

It was obvious that you were negligent. The PUJ was stop-parked at the side of

the highway while the driver was taking his dinner. It was your car that pushed it

forward on its rear left side portion causing it to incur damages. As a result of this

incident, the PUJ sustained damages amounting to Php 34,340.00 for a full repair. A

copy of the breakdown of expenses is also attached for your reference.

Moreover, Mr. would also like to demand recovery of his unrealized income

amounting to Php 40,000.00 for the days that his vehicle could not take a trip. His PUJ

is his only source of income and without it up and running, he would have to incur

loans to provide sustenance for the daily needs of his family to which he did so incur.

Because of the incident, the PUJ had to undergo repair for a month and a half. It took

that long because the owner had to look for funds to pay for the repair costs since you

can no longer be contacted and he needs his vehicle to run at the soonest time

possible.

Furthermore, when you were trying to settle, you told Mr. that you would pay

and that he only needs to call you on your cellphone number. That was why it was to

his utter dismay when he can no longer contact you. We don’t understand why we

haven’t been able to reach you and settle.

Considering your subsequent actions after incurring your liability, Mr. demands

Php 80,000.00, comprising of the repair costs, unrealized incomed and incidental
expenses, to settle this case. If he does not hear from you in the soonest time possible,

he will have to pursue other legal actions and file a complaint against you.

We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Copy furnished:
