What Is Discovery?
Discovery is the pre-trial legal procedure through which opposing parties obtain evidence from each other. It involves interviews, depositions, document requests, medical examinations for plaintiffs, and requests for admissions.
What Is Discovery?
According to the American Bar Association, “Discovery is designed to eliminate surprise and encourage settlement by enabling parties to learn about each other’s evidence before trial.” This highlights the dual purpose of discovery: to facilitate informed litigation strategy and potentially expedite resolution through settlement negotiations.
Discovery serves to ensure full disclosure of the facts of the case and relevant information, is efficient for the trial process, and indirectly encourages settlements. While procedures vary by jurisdiction, they commonly include methods such as depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents, and requests for admissions. Discovery is a crucial process in litigation that ensures transparency and fairness by allowing each side to know the facts and evidence the other side intends to present at trial.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?
How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Personal Injury Claim?
One of the most common questions that our clients ask is: how long it will take to settle my personal injury case? Unfortunately, no lawyer can answer that question for certain because every case is different and it can take time to reach the best outcome possible (if you encounter a lawyer who claims to be able to resolve your case in a fixed time period, that may be a red flag). And of course, if the insurance company refuses to offer an acceptable settlement, your case may go to trial which will extend the timeline a bit further.
To help you understand what to expect in a personal injury case, our experienced personal injury litigation team at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys explain the timeline of a typical case and the factors that can impact your recovery. […]
