A demand package typically includes a narrative liability analysis, complete medical records and itemized bills, wage loss documentation, provider opinions on causation and prognosis, photographs, and sometimes expert reports.
It accompanies a settlement demand and is intended to support the requested amount.

Settlement Demand Package, Demand Submission
Why it Matters?
For the defense the package is a discovery document arriving before discovery, revealing the plaintiff's theory, the providers involved, and which records counsel selected to include. What is omitted is frequently more informative than what is included, since packages rarely contain prior treatment records or unfavorable notes. Auditing the package against a complete record request is a standard early step.
