Personal Injury Attorney NYC
The 4 Most Common Forms of Discovery
The discovery process is a phase of litigation where the
different parties seek information from one another in
anticipation of trial. Different types of discovery tools are
utilized for different purposes. Your attorney may need to
look at the specific facts of your case to determine which of
type discovery is necessary.
Although states and their laws may vary during the discovery
process, the four steps that are common, detailed below.
 Interrogatories
Interrogatories are written questions that one party may request from
the other.
Interrogatories may be used as a discovery tool to learn facts about the
opposing party. This form of discovery is often used to learn facts the
party sending them intends to rely on in support of their claims or
defenses.
 Requests for Admissions
Requests for admissions specifically ask a party to admit or deny certain
facts that may be relevant to the litigation. If the party admits to a fact,
the fact is considered to be a stipulated fact that is not in dispute.
However, if the party denies a fact, the fact remains in dispute.
 Depositions
One of the most powerful discovery tools is a deposition. A deposition is
the testimony of a party or witness provided under oath in response to oral
questions asked by the opposing attorney. Although the setting for
depositions is usually informal, the testimony is provided under oath and
is just as binding as if it was provided in court. Our attorneys attend the
depositions with you.
If the every process of discovery is followed properly, many vital facts
can be achieved like the arguments the other party is going to use
during trial and you can prepare a better defense according the other
party's tactics. However, the discovery process is expensive and time
consuming, and, sometimes frustrating, but it can be the only medium
of the necessary information you will need to admit in the court to
make the process worth the hard work that you and your New York
personal injury attorneys did to prove the wrong deed of the negligible
party.
Thank You
