Injunctive relief requires no notice.

Why it Matters?
The thirty-day pre-suit notice requirement for damages claims permits correction that moots the damages component, and a defendant providing an appropriate remedy within the period bars damages entirely, which makes prompt evaluation of demand letters worthwhile rather than routing them to standard litigation handling. Injunctive claims may be filed immediately, and plaintiffs frequently file for injunctive relief and amend to add damages after notice.
