Request for Admissions in Your West Palm Beach Rear-End Collision Car Accident Case

Discovery is an important tool in litigation used to collect evidence that may be presented to the Court or a jury at a trial or during settlement negotiations in your West Palm Beach car accident case. One such tool is a Request for Admissions which asks either the plaintiff or defendant to admit the truth of certain statements usually within 30 days of service of the request.  Such statements might include the date of the accident, who was driving, whether there were any visual obstructions, whether the defendant could stop without hitting plaintiff's car, that defendant failed to stop or apply brakes soon enough to  avoid hitting plaintiff's car, not enough distance between the two cars to avoid collision, etc.
Having a reputable West Palm Beach car accident trial attorney is critical not only for gathering discovery but responding to it as well.  Remember, the other side is typically an insurance agency that does not want to give up money easily, so they will propound discovery upon the plaintiff as well.
