Firm Summary
When you become involved in a personal injury lawsuit, both sides have formal legal tools they use to discover facts and documents from the other side and from other parties. Should your personal injury case go to trial, the ‘discovery’ process will take place before the trial begins. Discovery can include “interrogatories,” “depositions,” and “subpoenas.” Each discovery tool has its unique function as well as its own limitations:
- “Discovery” is the process of attorneys on both sides of a case compiling as much evidence and information as they can.
- An “interrogatory” is often central to discovery; it’s a set of questions from the defendant’s attorney(s) about your injury, the accident that caused it, your medical treatment, and the impact of your injury on your employment and your everyday life. You must answer the questions fully and truthfully, or your claim could be jeopardized.
- A “deposition” is also usually part of discovery. At depositions, witnesses are interrogated by the opposing attorney(s), and answers are given under oath.
- A “subpoena” is a court order that requires someone to appear for a deposition or requires documents or other items to be produced.
