Request for Production of Documents in a West Palm Beach Automobile Accident Case

Once a lawsuit has been filed and the defendant has filed an answer to the complaint, the discovery process typically begins.  This is where the plaintiff and defendant ask each other for documents or things they believe are relevant to proving their case or to discover other material evidence that may be relevant.  The discovery process can be lengthy and tedious, but it is critical to proving your case. An example of some of the things a West Palm Beach plaintiff's accident attorney might ask for are:

photos of the cars involved in the accident, automobile policy of the defendant, the declarations page of the defendant's automobile policy,statements of witnesses, defendant's driving record,repair estimates for defendant's car, police reports, employment record of defendant, photos/videos of the accident scene taken subsequent to  the accident.  This is just a sample of the types of things a West Palm Beach car accident lawyer might request from the defendant.  Each side generally has 30 days to produce the documents requested unless otherwise agreed or ordered by the court.
