[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Motion for Auditor or New Trial and Prejudgment Interest in Puerto Rico Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an important matter regarding our recent case in Puerto Rico and to request your immediate attention and action. As per the circumstances of our case, I firmly believe that a Motion for Auditor or New Trial, accompanied by a claim for Prejudgment Interest, is warranted. Allow me to provide you with a detailed overview of the situation and why I believe these motions are crucial for a just resolution: 1. Background Information: Our case, [Case Name and Number], was brought before the honorable court [Court Name] in Puerto Rico. The case involved [Briefly mention the nature of the case, parties involved, and key legal issues]. 2. Unfavorable Verdict and the Need for Auditor or New Trial: Regrettably, the verdict rendered by the jury was unfavorable and failed to adequately address the damages suffered by my client [Client Name]. The awarded compensation does not reflect the true extent of her/his losses, pain, and suffering. Therefore, based on the evidence and relevant legal precedents, we firmly believe that a Motion for Auditor or New Trial is essential to ensure justice is served. 3. Auditor: By filing a Motion for Auditor, we request the court to review the damages awarded by the jury and increase the compensation to a reasonable and fair amount, according to the evidence presented during the trial. Our thorough analysis of the case, taking into account similar cases and legal principles, indicates that the current judgment fails to meet the standards of adequacy. 4. New Trial: Alternatively, if the court finds the damages awarded insufficient for the losses suffered, we request the granting of a New Trial. This would allow us to present additional evidence in support of our client's claims, address any irregularities that might have influenced the jury's decision, and secure a fair and just verdict. 5. Prejudgment Interest: Given the extended duration of this case and the financial hardships endured by my client, we also seek to claim Prejudgment Interest. This interest is calculated based on the amount of damages proven but not compensated over the period leading to the jury verdict. It serves to compensate for the loss of use of that money during the legal proceedings. In light of the circumstances detailed above, I kindly request that you prioritize the filing of the Motion for Auditor or New Trial and Prejudgment Interest, as it is crucial for the interests and rights of my client. Time is of the essence, and our team is prepared to provide any additional information or documentation required to support our motion. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a positive resolution that upholds justice and fairness. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] if you require any further information or if I can be of assistance in any way. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
