FAQ

You may object to Form Interrogatories, but be careful to use the proper objection. Using the wrong one or using every single one may lead the court to view you as misusing the discovery process and make you pay sanctions.

Discovery consists of four key actions: interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission and depositions.

Personal/Corporate information of opposing party. Identifying information of witnesses. Contact information & background of expert witnesses. Insurance information.

You must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing under oath, unless you object to it. You must explain why you object. You must sign your answers and objections.

The final phase of the discovery process is the depositions. Depositions may ask similar questions that could be asked through the interrogatories, except these questions are in person rather than in writing. Depositions are in-person question-and-answer sessions to help both sides gain more information.

You must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing under oath, unless you object to it. You must explain why you object. You must sign your answers and objections.

Your answers to the interrogatories should usually be short, clear, and direct and should answer only the question that is being asked. This is not the time to set out your entire case or defense to the other side. Take the time to make sure your answers are correct and truthful.
