HB 2927 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to settlement demands

HB 2927 establishes specific requirements for settlement offers in personal injury, bodily injury, or wrongful death cases involving insurance. To be considered valid, a "time-limited" settlement demand must be in writing, sent via certified mail, remain open for at least 90 days, and include eight key details like injury descriptions, policy limits, and release terms. Claimants must also attach medical/employment records with proper authorizations for insurers to access them. This bill directly affects claimants making settlement offers, insurers evaluating them, and courts reviewing whether offers were reasonable in lawsuits alleging extracontractual damages.
