Discovery is the formal process by which the parties to a case in court exchange information about the case. This includes information about the witnesses and evidence to be presented at trial. Its purpose is to make the parties aware of the evidence which may be presented at trial.
However, most personal injury cases settle before trial. Instead, they may offer the settlement well after the trial starts. This typically happens after discovery, but it may even happen after the jury reaches a verdict.
How Does Discovery Work? There are four main types of discovery requests: (1) depositions; (2) interrogatories; (3) requests for admissions; and (4) requests for the production of documents. Depositions are formal witness interviews.
Parties usually send their discovery requests and responses to the other party electronically, by email. But, parties may also send or respond to discovery requests by U.S. mail or a parcel service. Discovery requests and responses should not be sent to the Administrative Judge, except to support a motion.
You must respond to each request individually. You do not need to repeat the text of the question, but your responses must be in the same order as the requests, and each response should be labeled with the same number or letter as the request.

Retain Your Response and Proof of Service You do not need to file your response or proof of service with the court. If the other party claims you did not respond, you may use these documents to defend yourself against a Motion to Compel.
Interrogatories are a form of discovery requiring a party to file written answers to questions submitted to that party.
