Discovery Process

Legal Procedure

Discovery Process

Frank Mangiaracina

Discovery is the formal pre-trial process through which each party in a lawsuit obtains evidence and information from the other side. This process is critical for building a strong case and understanding the full scope of available evidence.

Types of Discovery

Common discovery methods include interrogatories (written questions that must be answered under oath), requests for production of documents, depositions (sworn testimony given outside of court), requests for admissions, and independent medical examinations.

Why Discovery Matters

Discovery allows attorneys to gather the evidence needed to prove or defend a claim. In personal injury cases, this often includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, expert opinions, and insurance policy information.

Discovery in Practice

In complex cases such as medical malpractice or product liability, the discovery process can take months or even years. Our firm has extensive experience navigating discovery in high-stakes litigation, ensuring that all relevant evidence is obtained and preserved.
