Should I need to respond to letter from tenant injury attorney?

[Joshua Corwin]

Hi everyone, really hoping for some advice from the community here.

I have a tenant that is faking an injury (one of these slipped and fell kind of things) and hired an injury attorney. That attorney sent a demand letter requesting information including my insurance policy details, etc., etc., The letter said I have a legal obligation to respond in 30 days, citing the following statute (627.4137) http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0600-0699/0627/Sections/0627.4137.html

Note - I have not been formally served, nor is there a claim that has been filed. 

I called my insurance company - they said they won't respond and it was up to me.
One attorney I spoke with said I do not need to respond, and should not as it would only hurt my case if they decided to pursue a lawsuit
Another attorney I spoke with suggested I had to respond by law

Does anyone
1) Know definitively if I am obligated to respond to the injury attorney?
2) If I do not, do people have opinions of I should?

Thank you for your help.

Do not respond. It's very common for dirty lawyers to send threatening letters, hoping you'll pay something without them having to prove their case. Just keep it on file and ignore it.

If they file in court, turn it over to your insurance company and their attorneys will take it from there.
