A spoliation letter is a formal notice demanding that evidence be preserved. This can include:

• Surveillance video
• Incident reports
• Maintenance logs
• Vehicle data or black box information
• Photos, recordings, or digital records

LSM sends spoliation letters early, often immediately, when there’s a risk evidence could be altered or destroyed. This step can be critical—especially in premises liability cases and commercial vehicle accidents—because once evidence is gone, it’s often gone for good.
