Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Spoliation Letter skill drafts comprehensive evidence preservation demand letters tailored to your specific personal injury case type and jurisdiction. The AI generates detailed evidence itemization, litigation hold demands, compliance deadlines, and sanctions warnings—creating a professional record that supports future motions if evidence is destroyed.

Drafting effective spoliation letters requires attorneys to manually research jurisdiction-specific preservation standards, compile exhaustive evidence lists tailored to each case type, and ensure no critical categories are overlooked. This time-intensive process often leads to generic letters that fail to adequately protect clients or delays that risk evidence destruction before demands are sent.

CaseMark automates the entire spoliation letter drafting process by analyzing your intake documents and case details to generate jurisdiction-aware, case-type specific preservation demands. The AI produces comprehensive evidence itemization, proper litigation hold language, and sanctions warnings—delivering a polished, professional letter ready for review and certified mail delivery in a fraction of the time.
