Notice of Intent to Sue

A Notice of Intent to Sue is a formal communication from a policyholder or claimant to an insurance company, advising the insurer of the policyholder’s intention to file a lawsuit in connection with a disputed claim or coverage issue. The notice typically includes a description of the claim and the basis for the dispute, as well as a demand for payment or other relief. Notices of intent to sue are often required by law or policy as a prerequisite to filing suit and may trigger certain obligations or deadlines for the insurer to respond.
