What is a Request?
A request is a petition which signifies a desire to a person for something to be granted or done. In legal contexts, a request refers to a formal demand or petition made by one party to another party, often seeking specific action, information, or relief.
According to Black’s Law Dictionary, a request is defined as “a formal demand, made in writing, for something specific.” As such, requests are integral to legal proceedings, serving various purposes such as obtaining documents, admissions, examinations, or rulings from the court.
Requests play a crucial role in litigation and legal proceedings by facilitating the exchange of information, clarifying issues in dispute, and advancing case management. Understanding the process and legal requirements for making requests is essential for attorneys, litigants, and parties involved in legal disputes to effectively advocate for their positions, and pursue remedies for their legal matter.

NHTSA coming under fire for not acting fast enough on recalls
An investigation by The New York Times into the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has found that the safety organization has been slow to identify and act on vehicle safety issues. According to The New York Times, the failures go well beyond its slow reaction to the GM ignition switch defect.
The Associated Press reported that this week Congressional Republicans charged that the NHTSA was years late in detecting the deadly problem with General Motors’ cars and lacks the expertise to oversee increasingly complex vehicles.
The congressional report stated that safety regulators should have discovered GM’s faulty ignition switches seven years before the company recalled 2.6 million cars to fix the deadly problem. It also raised serious questions about the NHTSA’s ability to keep the public safe.
The New York Times reported that by the time GM started the recall, […]

Attorneys at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys represented an estate and a widow in a medial malpractice case against a hospital in the death of her husband.
